Floor Pan and Torque box reinforcement or battle boxes?

Well car im looking at getting the body is great, paint is fresh like 2 bubble spots not noticable... the Floor Pan under the drive side has a hole in it.. you can poke the carpet lol so do i have to get a new floor pan or have a piece of metal welded over the hole? its thoroughly rotted to the point that i can take chunks of it off lol...

the torque box on teh driver side also is started to tear... can i jsut get that welded back together or should i upgrade to battle boxes?

no need for floor pans, just go over it well and find out where its bad, cut out all the rust, cut a new peice of metal to fit the hole, and weld it in.

as for the torque boxes just reweld them up and build your own reinforced pieces to weld to it.

worked good for me
