the floor
 
I have the floor fitted with lots and lots of pop rivets
can i fit ie 3/4 mdf in the inside of the car or should i just fit all on the metal floor?

If you mean you need something to bolt the seat to, use some metal strip of say 50x3mm across the floor from chassis rail to chassis rail.

And use large washers to spread the load for Mr IVA.

Dont understand the need to use wood.
