I've decided to take a stab at fixing the rust on my '73 fastback. I pulled up the carpet in the front and found lots of surface rust on the driver's side floor. It's rusted through around the heat duct and the wheel well. I gave the floor a good coating of POR-15, but I still have a hole. I have been unable to find any type 3 patch panels. I am not a master craftsman by any means, so fabricating my own panels is proving to be a bit difficult. I have a wire feed mig welder, but i'm not sure that I want to weld inside of the car. What is the best way to patch these holes? It doesn't seem fair that I can find every body part imaginable for a beetle but nothing for my car! Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution?
