and here's where the 98% rust free part comes in/this was more a weird combination of factory insulation strongly adhering itself to the area where the foot rests on the floorboard than anything else. Somehow it turned into a a hard goo resembling dried epoxy(think JB weld) I removed the insulation/hard goo from the floor panel/the metal was intact but pitted. Remaining pitted metal looks ugly but appears to be strong/no holes/no overly weak areas(I'm no expert), but wondering if I should go ahead and patch in a panel or just rust proof the area and call it good? thoughts? advice?
