Well I plugged away and fitted the floor,... faaaawk!



Then I called the Wifey out to get some good smooth welds in on the floor









Now the new pan didn't cover 100% of the rust so I have a few more small pieces to make up,.. progress pics up soon :)

Thanks for the offer!

Updates,..

Well for the floor support I made this



upon test fitting it to the floor i decided I hated it,.... to the bin it went and made a second one, heavier gauge like stock and fit it in :)







Took about 2.5 hrs to make it and fit it,..

Felt a bit bogged down and a touch overwhelmed so I decided to get some instant gratification and cherry pick a few jobs on the Manche,...

Old hole for a topper I assume





and a bit of body work happened,..

The Leper - I love it.   Are you just using a DA for the sanding?
