Small rust holes in the floorpans....
 
I took out my carpet yesterday and noticed that the drivers side floorpan has a couple little rust holes in it. They're no bigger than a dime each. How could i repair this? I'm going to POR-15 all the floorpans but how should i rid of these holes first? I really don't have access to a welder right now but would that be the only solution?

Thanks for any help!!

It all depends on what you want to do with your car..If you want to keep it then I would suggest cutting out all the rot holes and welding in patch panels and por-15 it all ..That would last the longest..If you just want a quick fix then take a drill and get a copper cleaning wheel and scuff up all the rust spots then por-15 all the bare metal then get a good quality body filler and fillin the holes ..........Good luck dude.........

I would like to keep the car for a real long time, but no way can i afford new floorpans or anything. For now i guess i'll just por-15 it and then eventually get it fixed right at the body shop. thanks for the help

Clean real good, cut a metal patch (steel) and JB Weld it in. Smooth it out after it dries, then a good coat of paint.

I had a serious rust problem along the seem in the driver's side area (6 inches x 1). I cut it out, used Por-15's mesh, putty, and paint about three years ago and the 'fix' still looks great. With problems so minor, don't (at least at this point) consider anything too radical.
