    I think I would just replace the entire bottom. I seen one last week on ebay that would have been perfect. What's the plan?

    I would say with a floor pan like that, the cowl is shot.

    Here's a link to a tech article on how to fix it. It's a large task.
    http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=35489

    I did this on a parts car just to see how big of a job it was. I drilled something like 150 spot welds if I remember right.
