cutting out the bad parts of the floor (almost the whole thing) treating the rust and riveting galvanized steel on as the floors.

good idea bad idea?

Rivets are a terrible choice. Welding is the only way to keep the strength of the unibody. Unless the patches are only a couple inches square, but I'd still weld them in.

as 2 many said your going to ruin the structual integrity of the vehicle plus with rivets guess what you just created another spot for rust to form.

i agree with 2 many 100% if your doing floor work frame work weld weld weld:cross-eye

Just a reminder NOT to ever weld on galvanized steel. The fumes it gives off are very toxic and can kill.

:stupid: Guess I should have proof-read my post a bit better, I thought I had mentioned that...

Good catch Rick...
