Move the front seats forward to maximise space in the rear; detach the rear seat base and remove it from the cabin; remove all coverings until you access the floor (the body is a sort of shell applied to the floor and is relatively simple to disassemble).

Then remove the rusted piece of floor, shaping the area appropriately for the new piece of metal.

Once the new floor piece is in place, weld it in several spots to secure it to the body (perform some test welds on a scrap piece of metal to optimise the welder settings). Once welding is complete, seal the edges of the joint with appropriate sealant.

Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
