Tap the floors with a ball pean hammer. Then put your light under the car. That will show you where all the small pinholes are, and help you decide if you're going to try to weld them up, or replace the floor. Looks like the areas above the torque box's are good.

It's a lot easier than that Schonye....I just need to drill out the pop rivets holding the 2 floor patches and do it right...

Are you going to buy that special tool to duplicate factory pop rivets?
