hey guys, been cutting out my old rusted floorpans, and finding there is ALOT more rust than i expected, the floor pans i bought arent big enough to cover the full rusted area. so how do i do this? put the new pans in place and measure the rectanges that i cut out and weld the extra steel on to the new pans to make them fit then spot weld and then bead.?? should i take pictures to help explain what im taking about?

Mine fell short of the damage at the firewall and I had to fabricate another piece of sheet metal to go there. I put the pan in first, fabricated the new piece, held in place with magnet, spot welded and then fully welded. Was not a fun process due to the shape of the area. bonk.gif

 

Shortly after that I gave up on the car, rust everywhere, and bought a virtually rust free 260. Hope yours turn out better. icon_biggrin.gif
