Ok here are a couple of pics of what I found after grinding on the floor for awhile, oddly the longs appear fine (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)
So does it look like I can just take a 3" wide section of 16ga and weld it in to fill the holes along the longs and tunnel? If so where to buy? Is the center brace available anywhere? A little advise please (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) First up: Attached image(s)

I would cut out as much of the rust as I could and then weld in some angles from the floor up to the sides to cover the holes. Then treat the entire area with some rust preventative (Por-15 etc.), from behind as well. The area is going to be covered with carpet so it doesn't need to be perfect (unless you're doing a show car). The repair will maintain the structural integrity of the body.

If I use angle that wont let me fit the Engman kit properly. Flat stock?

Put the Engman kit in first, then repair whatever else you can see. The Engman kit will make your frame super strong.

that looks like water intrusion into the cabin combined with that corner muck dirt mix that forms over years. I like the idea of installing the engmen kit first then the patches. I would stick to sheet metal
after you gring the rust away, it will be hard to weld to teh thinner metal at the horizontal to vert junction. the angle idea sounds better to me now |
