Battery Box R&R
Since someone is cutting up a car, i figured now is a good time to get the sheet metal to fix my leaking battery box. What do you think i should ask the guy to cut from the donor?
Here's what I found after pulling the PO's caulk/kitchen-appliance-metal patch.

It is a little hard to see, but the battery box "floor" is free floating, there is a gaping hole through the wheel well, and an equally large hole into the interior.
Any advice on how to fix?

A competent body shop should be able to weld in a new section from a donor car no problem. I had a similar issue under the car with the two points immediately behind the front wheels. I just had a junk yard cut the pieces off a car that I needed, and the body shop welded them into place.
