i just bought myself a new floorpan for the driver side front floor, caus its got stacks of rust. what do i do when i am replacing it. how do i go about cutting? do i just cut out where the rust is, or do i simply cut out the whole floor. and weld the new one in. i know that it has to be mig welded on both sides. any info would be great.

you'll kill it with a stik welder

its pretty thin sheet metal a mig would be better cause you wont blast straight thru it, im not an expert but the theory i've done at tafe would say mig is the way to go
