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).

Update....I started clearing out the rust to where she's solid. The soft spot I showed in message 31 above was indeed the floor between the inner and outer firewalls. The rust does not extend above the floor level and looks to me like a patch could be fabricated without buying a whole floor section (circled area in the third photo below). Then I need somebody to weld in a triangle with the jacking doughnut. The car has all fuel related "stuff" removed, so it's ideal to do it now. I have a friend locally who is a professional welder and can come over to do the work. Suggestions, criticisms, advice...all welcome.

Then I need somebody to weld in a triangle with the jacking doughnut. Except, that's not a jacking doughnut ... There's nothing structural to support the weight of the car on the backside of that doughnut. It was never meant to be used as a jacking point and it will deform if used in such a manner.

Hmmmmm...on the Tangerine Racing site, they call them "Jacking doughnuts" and those guys are geniuses !
