So considering this is really a winter beater and will be covered with sounds deadener and carpet. I can live with it.

I'll toss some paint on it and call it done.

Today I pulled the front passenger seat to get to the other rust hole.

This one I bought a floor pan for. I'm thinking I'll just cut out from the door over to the unibody frame rail.

Most of the floor pan is solid with just surface rust. The transmission tunnel was perfect.






After today I'm back on working 7 days week so I won't get far.

Cleaned up the rear passenger floor pan and shot some primer on it. Started cutting out the front floor for the patch panel.

Welded in the front floor. Now I just need to seam seal it, paint and add some sounds deadener.

Is not the perfect but it'll never be seen until it Rusts out again.

Next up lower quarters.

Front and rear passenger floor done! Almost seems like a shame to cover it up with sound deadner after all that work, but it'll be nice and quiet now.

Sorry,I know this a boring build thread. I'm really just documenting my progress.

Well I haven't updated in awhile. I have 3 storage project cars going so time is split up.

I got the rear quarters done. Again I'm no pro body guy. Learning as I go.
