Hey guys,
So today I removed the carpeting from my recently purchased 87 325is. Initially, when disconnecting the gas pedal it came out with a tonn of rust, which made my heart drop.
Picture:

Then, after an hour of carefully cutting the carpet to avoid cutting cables and hoses, I was able to remove it and BAM - I thought I stroked out or something :eeek:, aside from the word "f**k" there was nothing I could say :neutral:
Picture is worth a thousand words:

Naturally my mind tells me welding, but I have never welded anything in my life, and 4 days ago I soldered my first wires together (I am in IT by profession, programmer by night, and a driver at heart). Not a lot of hands-on experience. Guys - what do I do, how, and how much will it cost me?
Note that I am not ready to hear anything about scrapping the car so please lets hold off on those remarks, at least for now. Thanks.
