expanding foam in bulkhead..

Yes you can...but as soon as you put a welding torch near it when it gets done properly it will be fun... but I doubt you will be able to see the flames through all the smoke :-)

Expanding foam also has excellent water retention properties so it will further aggrivate the rot.

The foam isn't a fix at all. You'd be better off gluing a sheet of plywood over it. At least you could prise it off before welding it!

I don't like cosmetic patches like this. I've done them before and I end up with an 'out of sight, out of mind' problem where I forget about it.

For my money, it's structural and needs fixing properly, especially as there is probably much worse in the footwells and hidden away elsewhere. If you can be sure that the footwells are solid then a decent welder shouldn't charge the earth to patch that bit up.

Sorry...

Bodging already! Save your money until you can get it fixed properly.

I thought about filling the inside of the chassis with foam to keep the water out obviously a bad bad bad idea it was the welding problem that stopped me

Ah yes, the great man himself

The footwells look solid, just the one hole in the bulkhead and bubbling in the same place on the other side.

Yea, OK, I'll get it welded....

Me I have just left the holes, (after getting rid of the last owners filler) and painted whats left.

You can always just tape over it.

Welding can wait till summer.
