Rust problem

[clankilpatrick]

Good morning All,
I hope someone may have some ideas on best how to deal with the hole in the footwell under the accelerator pedal of my 130. The piccy attached will probably explain it better then I can. The black stuff is rust converter from a previous patch and paint job but I couldn't help myself and started digging around with a screwdriver didn't I. Is it possible to get replacement footwell panels and if so is it a difficult job to put them in or is the best approach just to carefully cut the rust out and weld in some replacement metal?. Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks, Dave

Cut out the piece and mig weld in a new section

It's flat metal, so it should be easy

Just tar coat it when finished (both sdes)

X2.. whole new piece would be the easiest and cheapest option...

Thanks for the input. Am cutting out the first sheet and will fix up the rust in the second sheet by cutting it out and migging in some new stuff and then putting a plate back in over the top that can be removed easily for regular rust inspections
cheers
