It'd be easy to just put a flat piece of metal over the hole, use some sealer & screw it together. Or, weld it in... OR... scavenge the appropriate sized piece from the junk yard and weld it in.

I know, the purist would do the latter but how important is this? I guess if it meant getting more outta the car for sales purposes I'd do the weld thing. I dunno..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

what would you do?

You are not going to add much strength if you use a flat sheet over the hole. You can regain some by running beads all over it. But at that point you oughta get a donor part anyhow.
