Oooooo you're a brave man. We had a whole donor to lop bits off, still ended up with a couple of flat bits in the floor, where the rot was the same in both vans. It's under the wood floor though, so doesn't matter. Alex ended up with the driver's rear wheel arch off the donor too.

on closer inspection(that's all i've done)it would appear it is only the top inch and the lip that is rotten on the chassis but my question is.the inside is where it is rusty but not right thru so if i cut the rot out will it still be okay to weld from the outside if i get rid of most of the surface rust etc?

If I'm understanding you right, then you're cutting out the rot then welding in new metal from the outside? That will be fine if your welder is turned up to get penetration.

At least you'll be able to see the inside as well so should be easy to tell if the weld is penetrating ok.
