Default How / Who to fix

Ok, I basically need help getting this fixed since I don't have a welder or welding skills.

I pulled all the carpet out of the blazer and theres some rust and a hole getting opened up where the seat mount is.



Pulled the carpet out, it been staying wet every day since I have a leak under the windshield.



I need to find someone to help me fix this does anyone have a recommendation or know someone / somewhere I can get it repaired cheap, but still a good job I don't want it looking like shit.

Well, neither actually it just looks like maybe a 500 pound gorilla sat in the passenger seat for a couple months or something, it just pushed through the floor!

I am thinking about going to a junkyard with a grinder and cutting out a new piece to have someone weld it in, I just need to find someone to do it!

Find someone to weld it first, and get their opinion on cutting a piece of floorboard to match, or just patching it with sheetmetal and adding whatever you need for the seat mount.

I would offer to help, because that's how I roll, but I'm working 7 days a week and going to school right now. I don't have time to touch my stuff
