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).

About the triangles, are they structural or protective? Mine is off right now as I finish up the same repairs as Ken. I was debating about putting a triangle back on. What is the purpose of the triangle?
Ken, My advice is to save the money paying someone to weld these holes up and buy a welder. I didn't know how to weld when I got mine. I watched a video on MIG welding, talked to several people who know how to weld, and practiced a lot. Now instead of totally sucking at welding, I now am just ok at it. |

So, they were used to support the weight of the car when it was "airborne".
