Prepping for floorboard installation

Before we can install the floorboards we need to make some repairs to the rear corners above the spring perches. The right side needed some sheetmetal fabrication to repair a large rust hole. We cut out the damaged area, made a template, fabricated a repair piece and welded it in place.

 

On the driver’s side, the entire spring perch cover had been cut out. Fortunately the car came with a repair piece (long out-of-production) as a replacement. It was cleaned, prepped for plug-welding, and welded in place.
