I have 3 questions about some bodypanels...

1.
The part i'm holding on the picture, is there a panel that I can buy and weld on instead. Because there have been made reperations earlier on the old part and half of it is rusty...

2.
Is there a panel/plate of metal that will cover the missing part of the floor beneath the pocket (see picture) or do I have do make one my self ?

3.
As far as I know the floors that I have welded on have inner sills ?
So I don't need to put a full inner sill on also, or ?
Or can I just cut of the piece from the inner sill that covers the hole at the centerbeam and weld that on?

My english isn't perfect, so if I've made myself unclear please tell me and I'll try to explain again ...

Hiya i think the bit you are holding in pic one is the rear end of the inner sill/floor edge from inside the pocket. in pic 2 the floor should go straight under the rear pocket which would meet up with the outer sill when fitted in pic 3 originally the floor would be flat with the seat cross member spot welded on top as you can get to this you may want to bridge it before the sill goes on. Good luck with your project

Regarding Q1 I don't think it's the inner sill, as that stops right before the pocket ...

The inner sill and outer sill including the step panel creates a box section that should run from front to back the after market steps cover the door shut but originaly they run all the way back with the rear quater fitted abouve them then the rear buckets go in. The rear subrame front mount nuts are within this box section and its common that it has been chopped to get to them when they break free and just spin. So what i thing you have is whats left of the step part but from inside the rear bucket.
