Lots of good stuff on replacing floors here. Not much on patching them it seems.
My 3B has pretty solid floors (thankfully!), ... except for some small flaking rust holes right around a couple of the driver's side seat track mounting holes. None more than an inch or two across.
I don't plan to take this to Pebble Beach any time soon, just a good looking cruisin' machine.
I could just cut out all the loose rust, treat the lighter surface rust with POR15 or Eastwood Rust Encapsulator and weld some sheet metal over the bad parts and drill new mounting holes? Or cut out 6 inch square sections and replace them with a couple of welded in patches?
Anybody else have to patch their floors instead of replacing them?
(Now I have to start looking for a set of seat mounts and tracks for it that I can clean up in my bead blasting cabinet.)
