Well, the hole itself was repaired, but I was just able to excavate as seen below. Surrounding area is ice pick proof. What are the best "fixes" to be done while keeping the car together? It does not extend into the interior either and the side runners are very solid (had been replaced too).

It does not extend into the interior either and the side runners are very solid (had been replaced too). Using a wirewheel or grinder, or whatever you weapon of choice is, take the areas down to bare metal and see what you have left to work with. Then fab replacement bits, weld 'em in and be done with it. Additionally, how was the hell hole repiared? (post a pic or two) I would think that if someone went to the trouble of repairing the hell hole correctly, they would have repaired the spots in your photos as well. |

The hell hole was patched...not with correct sheet metal but simply cut and welded pieces (like no hole for the drain funnel, etc.) twenty years ago. It's stri=ong buut has some surface rust that I'll take care of
