Re: [T3] Holey discovery

Depending on how picky you are on getting it close to stock, you could just
get someone to weld a piece of metal in there. Apparently the battery area
is a pretty normal place to have this happen, and the rest of your pan might
be in great shape.
A former coworker warned me against using fiberglass to repair a spot like
that - he said the weight of the battery going up and down while you're
driving would keep flexing it and the fiberglass repair would soon separate
from the metal around it - maybe the fiberglass experts can comment on
this... I always like the fiberglass option because I don't have a welder :)

Good luck!
