Floor pan/Side Rust repair

I have some decent floor pan rust that is creeping up the side of the car, on both side. A friend of mine and I are going to attempt to weld in some sheet metal unless anyone has any better ideas. budget is tight as i am a college student. is there an aftermarket piece that comes up this far on the edge? I also have UMI SFC's so im not AS worried about structural integrity.

Common area fo rot on these cars. Sheet metal will be fine oryou can get a floor pan. Its up to you. Hows the rest of the floor?

Re: Floor pan/Side Rust repair

Wow i though mine was bad its really easy to fix that spot as long as u dont cut the whole rocker panel out u dont have to brace the car i recently did mine an the floor is very solid now ur best bet would try to find a non rotted floor an just cut it out of a junk car
