scrap it, it'll be very rusty elsewhere if it needs the boot floor welding.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

burn it.....only joking  thatd be meanlot of effort to replace the whole boot floor. depending on the extent the rust and it postion. as you said its a tiny patch near the sill, as long as you car isnt structurally compromised, itd be easiest just to clean it up and patch it. for a bit that people rarely ever see its up to wether you think you want it to be looking perfect for all the extar effort. ________________________________________ the world is changed by people in sheds |

Cut out the section, fabricate a new infill peice and weld in and grind the weld level. Once sprayed youll never know it was done.  ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

The steel is a little too thin for grinding the welds down, can so easily go through. If welds are good enough you won't need to grind it down. Its an art in getting a panel original looking, so much easier on thicker grade of steel than French type.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

That looks just like surface rust tbh, give it a poke and see how it gets.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug. Black 306 GTI 6 Standard, was 60k mileage, bargain!! Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |
