I knew my jeep had a hole in the floor when I got it, but didn't notice how large it was untill I pulled off the 5 layers of carpet (that was a good hint) the more layers, the more this guy just didn't want to see it.
I started with a piece of plywood that would fit the area, treated it to a nice close to body color spray paint. Used boat grade resin to harden the wood.
Prepaired the area by filing down the metal, and layed down the wood, and matched it with 3-4 layers of weave fiberglass. I tried to add a layer of matting on the top, but that didn't go so well.
I've since added herculiner (pictures coming soon) and it's hard to even see the hole. It was a nice alternative to welding since
-I don't know how to weld
-don't know anyone that does
-cost was a big priority
wood $3
resin $19
fiberglass $18
total ~$50
