Plan of Action?, Bondo Floor? Options

[stoneman30hotmail]

Hello all, I'm a bit new to this. I had one of these in my 20's and and did a little stick welding fixing the hell hole.
I'm not sure how to approach this. Do I need to strip all this and go on rotisserie? Or is it feasible to cut and patch this from the top

The driver side floor is bondo (or something). I'm not sure what is holding the seat mounts. The passenger side seat mount right is about broken loose. There's also holes past the transverse strut into the battery area.

The longs seem ok from what I can see. Can I get the sill covers off without taking the fenders off? I was worried I drill out all the rivets to figure one hidden under the fender.

Any good tool recommendations for rust removal?

I was thinking maybe I can get away with with https://www.restoration-design.com/store/product/PP345BR and a https://www.restoration-design.com/store/PR...duct_Code=PP325 and the seat brakets and patch the holes.

I'm glad to see my thread made it through the hack, thanks!

There was a cold spell for a while in NC but it's tolerable warm now. So making some progress.

DOOR GAP:
I'm concerned with the door gap. I was maybe over excited about closing the hell hole and thinking welding behind the door was no problem.

However I wonder that welding shortened the engine compartment and pushed the fender and door sill forward. Is that possible? I think it was still ok after welding forward. The top looks ok. (I tried pushing with the turnbuckle till it buckled).

But it looks tight where the door is.

Anyway, I'm wondering what to do with it now. The floor will come out. So I could cut the long and somehow reweld some space. I also wonder if I weld hard on the inner wheelhouse if it will pull back. Or somehow push on the bottom while welding up the rest.
