Re: floor repair
Personally I would cut out all the rot preferrably using a new panel or at least joddle the edge of your repair panel and weld it in.
Re: floor repair
Cut back to good clean metal - most importantly - make sure there is NO handy bath of petrol.......... As you now know - sparks start fires. They also ruin paintwork/chrome/glass - so make sure everything is covered up!

Re: floor repair
thought so.so right back to good metal and replace the bits i have cut out. might take a bit longer than first anticipated, but if it means the car lasts another 40 years, its worth it
Re: floor repair
After burning down a garage and destroying a car, I am surprised you are allowed to play with grinder and welder ever again

Re: floor repair
only allowed to use them outside now, and with a bucket of water nearby.
