Finally spent some more time on the car. I still need to purchase Subframe
connectors but decided to fit the existing floor pans instead of buying
new ones. Since the inner rocker, tunnel and toe boards were all in good
shape the replacement should be pretty easy. You can see how long I've had
the new pans, they are already starting to surface rust. I'll be using
some rust remover on them and the remaining floor and then prime with weld
through primer before the final install.
I marked the outlines of the front sub frame, tranny mount tunnel and
the overlapped areas with a permanent marker. I then drilled 1/8"
holes for plug welding the pans. I will use some metal screws to hold the
pan down tight in all areas and plug weld the rest of the holes and then
remove each screw and plug weld them up in the end. I will likely then
seam weld the rest of the pan edges where the sheet metal overlaps and
then use seam sealer top and bottom to seal it all up.

View through the rear window. I will be getting the rear pans in as
well. I originally was not going to replace them but decided to after
all after finding some more rust. |
