here are some pics of my floor rust.. im going to be patching with 18-16ga satin coat steel and welding into place and then seal with undercoating spray

anything i should worry about or think about before i proceed

at first when I had heard of your floor pans I was expecting maybe some mild rust, maybe a small hole or two, but that's some good work right there. You'll have to replace a lot of that. Makes me cringe when I think of what's under mine. Try to shave off most of the rust you can, making cuts in segments, and try to go with the flow of the metal. nothing could be worse than replacing the metal only to have it rust over again. Prep, prepare, clean. Clean as you go, try not to contaminate the work you are working on.

Did you get a new floor pan or just patch it up bro?
I have a vr6 1998 and it runs great but i just found out about the floor issue. and do you know if the mk2 floors will fit the mk3 no one seems to know. I found some new ones online?

I doubt Mk2 will fit Mk3 EXACTLY, but I could be wrong.

Refering to OP, there comes a point in a car's life when it is not worth fixing and it goes on to help other cars achieve a longer life. That point in time can be a major accident, blown engine or tranny, excessive compounded mechanical repairs and/or body/frame rot. Too many people throw good money after bad and too many people try to sell a POS that should be in a junkyard instead of for sale. Buyer Beware!
