Default Repairing rotted floor 95 XJ with ebay floor pans

I'm thinking about repairing the floor on my 95 XJ. Many holes in the floor particularly the front passenger side. I noticed that aftermarket floor pans are typically available on ebay. Are these any good or will the fit be poor. Also, I'm hoping that I could do this with fasteners rather than welding. I'm not great at welding.

Probably depends on what you buy and from who. Classic2Current fabrication has some good ones at reasonable prices. Check Amazon.
You can do it with rivets provided you have some solid metal to attach to and get the rust out of there. Welding is preferred, but a properly done rivet job will work. Some folks run a bead of body panel adhesive along with the rivets. Haven't tried it personally but seems an interesting idea.

Default Rust fix?

I found rust after taking out the carpet as well back seat where you pick it up has the biggest hole. Looking to see how I am going to fix it I don't know how to weld so either buy one an learn or use bondo or somthing??? Also stoner move I got high heat paint instead of the good high heat stuff. So a bit warm. Going to bedliner after hole fix. 89 xj

I'm in process of doing my 2000 xj and decided to use KeyParts panel due to thickness, fit and looks like OEM. Best price I found was at FixMyRust. The front panels each ran $66.03 and rears each were $65.31 with free shipping.
