Just wondering if anyone has ideas for recreating a floor plan drain? The drain was rusted and fell off. I'm going to be addressing rust and holes already in the pan. Should I recreate the drain or just fill it in with new metal?

E30? What floor drain? Pictures?

Do you mean that little plug in the driver's floor above the subframe mount? It's not a drain, just a plastic/metal plug. I'd go with new metal and find the leak up in the plenum or windshield seal.

Yes, the plug in the driver's floor. 2 3/8 inch diameter opening. No leak, just doing some repairs.
