Rear floor section needed

Hi everyone.
My Stag is in Portugal with a Garage and being restored. The rear floor section is heavily corroded and I am looking for a replacement part. Any idea where I could find it ?

Rear floor repair panels are available both LH & RH from Rimmer Bros, EJ Ward and James Paddock, the latter two are a little cheaper but obviously you have international carriage charges.
Can't comment on quality and fitting as not used myself and they aren't SOCTFL.

As a side note general questions of this nature are better posted in the SOC Forum pages as may get more notice and quicker response than this restorations section.

I purchased my 1973 Stag Mk 2 from Virginia and had it shipped up to Canada. The body was 'rust free', so I thought, until I decided to replace all the carpeting, pulled up the rear carpets behind both seats, only to find that there was extensive rust on both sides. I took my Stag to an expert welder Peter and left it with him, received a call a week later, the stag was ready. When I arrived, the Stag was up on a hoist and I looked up to find the floor ribs were perfect, and had been treated with undercoat. I was amazed and curious as to how he had replicated the underside as original.
The car was lowered and Peter showed me how he had fixed the floor problem, by cutting out a brand new metal top and butt welding it to the side of the prop shaft tunnel, rear seat bulkhead and the inner side of the sills, with the new panels undersides treated with undercoating before being welded in place. Peter's reasoning was, as the car was in concourse condition. He said it was now in original condition. I purchased a thick rubber mat runner, and glued it to the new floor to make it 100% waterproof. Since doing this, I have discovered that rain blows in from the top of the door windows in real downpours. So I remove the rear mats to dry them out, but the underside is still dry.
