    Sorry to Tell Ya Mate ,
    But you'll Be needing a Body Specialist And A Guy Who Knows How To Weld Thing Up .
    Some New Metal Sheets and A Gas Welding Machine .

    Then The Fix Will be Like This

    That's A Lifting Jack Which Broke The Flor Panel . But in your Case You'll be needing alot of Metal Sheets .



    Then After That You Can Paint it and Use Some Rubber Anti-Rust Sprayed Paint.

      don't stress to badly, my car was like that except it was a hole!!!

      I bought a cheap fluxcore welder (<$100) and got a few pieces of steel sheet offcuts for free and went to town, wasn't pretty but it's solid. Just coat it with por15 and then undercoat it after.

        Yeah But as I Can See , That Car You Posted By The Thread Creator Has alot of Rust . And The Photo I Posted Is an Accident Sheet Break , But if you Look Closely You'll see Just Dirt , but no Rust at All .

        Mate I Live In Jordan Mid-East , And The humidity Here Is 16% At Maximum , it's Always Dry Cold , That's Why We Have no Rust :) , YEAH

          The thing people don't know or understand about rust . . . it works like fungus. When you see a mushroom, that is just the fruit. The fungus organism spreads for many feet below the surface.

          Rust follows tendtrals, running along the veins that exist in every metal. Like cancer, you can't just cut out what you see - you have to cut out what is not yet visible.

          When my father restored our '66 Mustang, the floor boards looked similar. He cut them completely out and re-welded completely new floor boards back in. Then he applied a sealant along the weld seams on both the top and undercarriage since that section of the metal is compromised for future rust as well.
