Mine was rusted through in patches so it was pretty bad but not so bad that the whole floor needed to be replaced. so I have a road sigh and hot pink sheet metal under my carpet

don't use bondo - the floor needs to flex. Bondo will just crack.

You need a flexible seam sealer (auto parts store) or roofing tar to seal everything up after welding.
