914 floor pan rust repair, big hole under the passenger seat! Options

[Poze]

Hello all

this is my first post on the site, and the site looks really good! Really impressed by it all and so glad i've found something like this!

I've brought my first Porsche, its a 914 1971 model 1.7L.
Its had a lot of work done on it in the past, but has been sat since 2001 in a garage as the new owner found badly repaired metal and seriously rusty floor pan. I dont know how this wasn't repaired years ago!! its that bad.

Theres a hole under the passenger seat, its also rotted the sides of the inner sills, and the bulkhead, as well as various other holes such as under the front headlights and battery tray.... to name a bit.

Is it possible to repair the floorpan half and then fabricate new metal etc around it?.. where the best place/panels to buy as well (UK based - but any recomends appreciated). Or am i on 2 a lost cause, and a rookie error purchase... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

I'll get some pics to add on.

Cheers
