Well here it is....a bit worse than i thought...
Now what do I do? What's the proper way to fix?? Should I just get it welded back in and/or add a bracket?
Looks like it's already been "fixed" before.....

I don't have the equipment or know-how to do it myself, so I took it to a body shop for an estimate.
The guy said he may have to cut out that part of the floor and weld in a replacement from a doner car.
His reasoning was that if he just welded it back in, it could break somewhere else if the surrounding metal is "fatigued".
I want it done right.
Thoughts?
