Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have to replace the front section drivers side and passenger side (under the feet) of the floorpan on my 88 gq leaf sprung ute ( It is rusted thru).Also the A section is rusted thru at the join to the floorpan. Has anyone done similar repair and if so how did you approach this job.
Regards
Steve

88 model, its lasted real well if it is ex mines!

Cut, plate, weld, seal, paint. Tar under the body, and colour code the inside.

Thanks for all replys.
I do not know the history but all running gear along with second motor is good( has 400000 on clock )If I can get to the bottom of the rust repair I have thoughts of putting on a turbo and then gas as I understand the rebate for gas conversion is applicable also for diesels.
I would like to to remove spot welds from floorpan and replace but problem I have been told is this 88 model is unique to 88 89 GQ utes and I would need the floorpan from similar to match.I also like the idea of cutting and welding but not sure how is the best way to prepare the joins.
Thanks Steve

I have searced for new bodies and as yet have not fond any to suit this model. but I might be looking in wong place.
