I've got 3 areas of bad rust, each about 2 x 2 inches, in the driver's side floorpan. Would it be better to weld in patches, or replace the floorpan. One is over the floor brace, near where the driver's seatbelt attaches. I'm not concerned about cosmetics or correctness.

Thanks a lot,
Paul

Paul,

If your not worried about cosmetics, I'd just patch it.

If you were restoring for showing the car, I'd concider the pans.

Otherwise why go to all the trouble ?

These things have a way of snowballing anyway.
Ever wonder how many cars are disasembled for one job, then a "while I'm here I may as well..." took over, and before long its a "frame off" that gets derailed, and the car is apart for way longer than you intended.

I would consider replacing that particular section only. The floorpans are available in various sizes from full pans to partial sections.

i had a few rust spots in my floor board, i just used fiberglass matting and resin to cover it. I put a few layers on. very strong. An option for ya.
