One of the POs of my 914 decided to stick weld the passenger side floor pan in, it looks like crap. The inner and outer firewall were also fixed with this method, except that rust was cut out, and a shitty scab plate was welded over the vacancy. The hell hole received similar treatment. Since part of the floor pan in my car has to be pulled away to fix the inner rocker, I was thinking about taking the entire floor pan out at the same time. Then I got to thinking that with the hols in the long and rockers, and no floor pan, my car might just collapse. What do you all think?

I was thinking about doing that, but the passenger floor pan half itself is in good shape since it was obviously replaced, so I wanted to try to avoid cutting it up.
I'm thinking that I will weld in some angles from the center hump to the inner rocker, then pulling the floor out. That, along with the door brace, should keep things rigid. Let me know if that is a horrible idea. -Chris |
