They mite as well of done at the time! it under there, somewhere under the straw and inches of dust n farm crap that had built up over time! But it was a good interesting and fun job to do, up until this point i had only really done arc and thermit welding on the rails! Which is a little extrreme for a bit of boot floor welding lmao
I have never welded (well only a tiny bit) but I wouldnt mind having a crack at this myself. Foolish?

yes.buy an alloy floor and rivet it in place with sealant.I have 1 here for 35 quid...
can post it at your cost.would make a complete repair for about 65 quids....

Does it look exactly the same as the original or is it just a shaped sheet of flat alloy?

Not with a bead of sillicone or foam / rubber strips between thum
dunt waste yers time busty they know best.
By the way guys I certainly dont know best!! I have read a number of posts that point to the issue with dissimilar metals accelerating corrosion, I assume that there is truth in that as I have heard it before. Dont want to have to redo floor any time soon so thought it best to not take the chance.
Also the jury appears o be out on the weld versus rivet debate!!

Weld
What he said ^^^^^^^^^^^^ If your going to do a job, do it properly.
Pop riviting is just a bodge. Why not secure your exhaust with cable ties as well whilst your at (IMHO).
