Default hole in the floor board






I knew there was a hole from when the car was on the lift and was poorly repaired. So when I pulled back the carpet/padding I found these two gems.

Now I'm no body shop guy, but I'm thinking I can buy some fiberglass repair, clean and spread some over the hole and repeat next time its up on a lift?

I'm thinking the P.O. (who has done some Bubba fixes, like the sheet rock screws to attach the inside of the door sills) or a mechanic got a jack too close to the floor board and popped a hole in it

Is that a hole or a chip?

It's a hole, those pieces in my hand were probably punched in

Mine was much worse and I had them on both sides there from speed bumps. I used resin and glass fiber and fixed from the inside first. Sanded the area around to clean it up. Wet the glass fiber and laid it in place, three layers inside two underneath.

West marine smc kit. It's a weekend project. The danger of the floor being lower than the frame rails.
