While under my 83 fixing oil pan, I noticed a "hanger" hanging loose ... turns out that my drivers side floorpan is falling apart
the seat rocks back and forth![EEK!](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)
I guess the years of leaking oil and coating the underside has caused some erosion.. or it's the fact that I have been dumping brake fluid in every day due to a leaking master cylinder ...
So what options do I have ???
weld in new floor ?
Bolt in a plate ???

first remove the seats, center console (etc), and carpeting. choose whether you want to start with the inside or outside and grind the area down to bare metal or you can wire wheel all of the paint (or rust if any) off in that particular area. clean the area of any paint flakes or oils and weld the area or seam back together. do the same for the opposing side. if you don't have a welder, pay to have it done. this is a very easy fix!
