I took a wire wheel to the rusted out areas at the driver's feet. It looks like most of the rust was from the top, due to the heel holes worn through the floor mat and insulation collecting water. From underneath, the metal looks pretty good...except for in the body mount area. I'm thinking I might cut the spot welds, remove the box from the floor pan, and decide what metal to replace from there. Any advice?
Pics:
Driver's side floor, from the top. Note the rust-through on one of the bead rolls, and also next to the body mount bolt.
From the bottom - not much rust!
View through the rust-out next to the body mount bolt. I have to get rid of that rust somehow, maybe remove the section and rebuild depending on how much metal is left?
