Water has probably been pooling up in the spare wheel well, in the boot, for years. I've owned the car for under a month, and only made the discovery yesterday.
Removing the spare wheel reveals a rust hole of enormous proportions. The ground below can clearly be seen. Its only a matter or time, it seems, before the entire wheel falls out.
I've taken the wheel out to allow the area to dry out while I figure out what to do next.
I'm wondering what people's suggestions are for fixing this problem. Cut away the rust and weld on a new sheet of metal? If that's the case, then it looks like I'll have to cut away quite a bit. Might not have much of a floor left afterward.
Suggestions are highly appreciated.
Regards
