If you can get on with it, you'll do it in a day.

Wirebush end on a grinder over the spot welds to find them all.
Buy a good spot weld drill bit. and a drift.
Two good sets of mole grips, and some self tappers to get the pannel all alined.

Day 1: remove and refit floor
Day 2: paint & bake
Day 3: check paint, spare day if anything goes wrong.

I can see it being 3 days for a bodyshop. Better they quote you three and do it in 2 rather than quote you 1 and do it in 2...
