Fill the hole and put another thread on it.

Don't know the procedure but its not difficult with a welder and the right tools.

if your going to weld and re-thread mate you will need to get your hands on a tap and dye set!

I would say this will be easier and quicker though:

Should be able to just re tap the internal thread (One in floor) and die nut the bolt. Make sure you have the correct sized tap and dies as they can be very decieving.GGGRRR.

Take it to a garage if your not sure. Last thing you want to do is fcuk it up anymore.
