If Celis could cry, mine would be bawling..., It needs surgery Options

So I started my Celi spring cleaning today, only to find some bad things.

I pulled out the carpet, and found that my driver's side floor looks like it's been smashed in, then pounded out. I looked under the car, and saw what looked like a jackstand imprint in the middle of the damaged area, so I'm thinking that my retard mechanic figured it'd be cool to support the car with the thin Celi floor...too bad the jack didn't go through the floor and let the Celi fall and crush my mechanic.

Thankfully, the solid side part towards the outside of the car and the inside frame rail are perfectly intact, so it looks as if it's just cosmetic damage to the floor. I thought I felt small bulges in the floor, but never thought enough to look under the car.

My question is, would it be smart to cut out that part of the floor from the purple Celi with a Sawzall and take it to a very reputable body shop to get the damaged part of the yellow one cut out and the new piece welded in and ground down? The damage really isn't anything big and probably has no effect on the car, but it'd give me peace of mind knowing that nothing on my car is damaged.

Do you guys think I should do this? Has anyone done this to replace rust or anything? If so, how much did it cost you?

Oh, and by the way, if you're really strapped for cash, pull out your Celi's carpet. I found a cigarette butt, some girl's driver's license, a bolt, and $3.12 in change.

Edit: Forgot the pics. Here they are.
