whats the best way to fix some rust holes in the floor, without welding? I need to patch the oval shaped sunken pieces on the rear seat floor pan if that helps at all. I will see if I can find a picture. I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide

take the carpet etc out, and bring the car to an exhaust shop or body shop, its very cheap to weld up a few pieces of metal.

Under $ 50 total for 15min job, the rubber patches, themselves would cost this price if not more.

Ive seen folks cut out the rust, rivet a piece of tin in or metal, then bondo etc, thats garbage in my opinion

What do you mean by rubber holes? Also when I took the carpet up to dry it out I found 2 floor patches put in with metal and tar? I figure I might as well do the same thing just coat everything in rust inhibiting paint before I put the metal down. Then I could tar it and paint it all again.
I just want to hold it together fairly decent for the few years I own it

Best way=new floor pans.

yeah id cut that out and have them weld up the metal, call it done,.

There are some rubber type patches our body shop uses, they are large rectangular patches, with a powerfull bonding ahesive. The whole piece gets hard as metal when letf to dry or heated with a torch.

I just bought the car which I have learned to find i over paid for so I do not really want to spend 350-400 bucks on floor pans then have to pay someone 300 more to weld it up

So the rubber patch covers the hole ?

yeah, any body shop will know what im talking about, the dam patch emmits an odor stronger than amonia and will knock you flat on your face

Do you know where I could buy these patches?
