Thanks guys,
No Mate its not impossible to procure a complete floor board but thsi was patched up becuse the original one was perfect except for these little corroded parts. Original metal panels of imposted cars are not available in India..at not in bombay especially of older cars. Secondly i dont think any donor car would have a floor pan intact. If it did it would rather be a restoration project than a donor car. The welds have to be incorporated to save as much as possible, the original good metal found on the car.
