I found a gash in driver side under body.
I was working on my car last night just pulling out the carpet to run some speaker cable, I pulled the carpet off and it was able to see the garage floor. 
Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? I was thinking of cutting a rectangle of some 18 gauge steel that I have and welding it back together, or trying to use a small mallet to straighten it out and weld it then. Thank you guys. I will take a picture after work.

Lol... how do yo not know you have a friggin GASH in your floor board?!?! I can only imagine how loud it gets driving at higher speeds. Seeing as bondo will be a ghetto rig job... only way to fix it correctly is by properly straightening whats left of the floor board/ when the gash has been brought down to a minimal cut and weld appropriate size piece of sheet metal and make sure to spray paint the new metal with non-corrosive paint.

I honestly haven't driven the car for a mile. I just picked it up. I have kept it in the garage for about 2 weeks working on it when I have time. I towed the car home so I want to say that might have when it happened, because there isn't any rust on it.
