Weld thru primer applied to both pieces before welding, paint and seal after.
nearly every car on the road has spot welded floor pans sills etc and then theres the problem of galvanic reactions when using ally floor rivetted to steel chassis. after a period of time the ally floor could fall off as the rivets corrode and eventually disapeer my floor is steel welded on as above other people have rivetted ally floors and theyre fine too if you have the steel weld it on im sure it will make an excellent floor and cost nothing. many kit producers also weld in floors im sure theyre not all wrong Ray |

Also spray schultz (cavity wax stuff) gets into nooks and crannies to form a nice weatherproof seal which is used on the underside of cars as an anti corrosive.

Mines got a steel floor spot welded on now for over 2 years and its been fine, i did also have it all e-coated and powder coated afterwards which will have helped to seal it all to.
A spot weld every 2" has held in my 16 stone and took a lot of abuse and after checking each weld a couple of times since all have been well. Tis your choice but if its free (and it doesn't weigh too much) then use it......AndyH
