well today we were putting my car up on jackstands to do some work on it, and i hear a loud crunch, i go to the other side and my freind put the jack on the floor and dropped the car down, so it punched a hole in the floor and moved it up about 2 inches, i was able to step on it from the inside of the car and push it back down, but now i still have that round peice ot metal that just kind of sits there. wondering whats something easy i can do to fix that, people were telling me fiberglass and tar over it and the shops wont notice when getting safety, and my dad says to pop rivet a peice or metal over where the hole kind of got punched in. this is purely temporary just so i can get my car on the road asap for work, then down the line i will get the floor repaired once my freind moves into his new shop, just wondering what you guys think would work better and would get me to pass safety.

i'd like to see some pics if possible, but what was suggested will work. eventually I would weld in a new piece of floor panel cut from a donor car if possible.

got it fixed properly. what had happened was it broke a couple spot welds and bent the floor up, i worked my majic, ripped the carpet out and welded it back down, the civic is not on the road :woot: damn i love this car.

Grind down the floor where the hole punched through, then weld on a plate there and grind down the edges so it looks decent.


thats a boo boo accident :thumbdown:
