Well we spent most of the day staring at this mess and trying to figure out what we are going to do with it. After much deliberation, we may have come up with a plan. It's probably not the way any car professional would fix it, but hey we are not car professionals. It will call for some creative fabrication and welding skills. Stay tuned to see if our plan works!
 |
| This is where we started. The previous owner actually screwed in a piece of metal and then used fiberglass to attach it to the floor |

| Here we have cut away all the rusted areas and the area where the all the screw holes were |

 |
| This is the patch we welded in to replace the screw hole area and after we attached the new floor to body piece. Of course now we figured out our new box channel is about 1" too long, so we will just have to work around it on this side since its all welded in. Lesson learned! |
