From the outside, everything looked just fine, except for curios looking bulge in one area, it is Jaguar, everything is possible.

Again, the funny part is that nothing looked bad from the outside and then I discover this sandwich.

It is dual layer, which made it rust on the first place. Jaguar has two 10mm anchor nuts welded in the floor, for some technological reason and that is why they needed to overlap floor board, with another, 16 gage metal flap.
I will replace the outer flap, cut rust through holes in a nice circular manner and weld around them from the inside. You will see when I post more pictures.
Sad part is that this metal, on metal sandwich had no rust proofing between the layers and was not sealed with silicone around, like zee Germans would do.
Anything more careless would have Made in Italy written on it.

I found the same issue on my 1997, in the exact same spot. I recommend everyone take a look at these plates, which are located just behind the front wheels, inside of the front jacking points.
The original owner was in New Jersey...but for the last 11 years the car has been in the Southeast. Mine doesn't look too bad. I'll address it in the next few months, after I get some other priorities addressed.

I seem to remember from a conversation I had with XKRacer a little while back that these plates serve no purpose and were just attached during assembly of the cars to hang up the floorpans. The first you know about a problem is when you get wet carpets. It is not necessary, therefore, to replace the plates when the floor has been repaired.
Perhaps XKRacer will correct me if I have got this wrong!
