Hello Everybody, Can you tell me what panel I should by to repair this hole? Is it an inner wing?

I should add that I am going to replace the floor pans as somebody has jacked the car up by the lifting strap point and buckled the floor.

I think its called a flitch panel that you would need to replace, but it can just be patched for now for ease. To replace the flitch panel itself is quite a major repair as its not just the flitch panel that would need replacing but also the A panel and possibly the front wing on that side.

Just make a simple repair panel that will flush weld into the area, put a right angle on the bottom to tie into the floor pan

I guess I should cut out the rot back to good metal first andthen weld in the panel. Other side is probably as bad so I guess I will do both at once.

 

Spentthismorning chipping of inches of seam sealant and underseal. It was thicker than i'd expected in places.
