I've given up on thinking a 2 1/2 car garage can actually hold 2 cars. At least I can move around easier and will have room to put the seats in there when the time comes. As long as I keep it straightened up!
Still cold around here, but I managed do cut some more cancer out of the car. I cut out more of the trunk floor to make room for the new panel under the trunk lid. Upon removal, I now see I have some frame damage! Great! Just what I need. Really took the wind out of my sails and of course, it started to rain so I stopped. I have no idea how this damage occurred. The trunk floor was not damaged in this area, only the panel. Also the panel was not as messed up on the side that shows the frame bent up! Maybe someone put a chain on it to pull something and bent it. I don't know. Not sure what to do now. Try to smack it down with a hammer? Put the new panel over it and pretend it never happened? The holes in the frame for the body mounts seem like they allow for some "wiggle" room in case the holes have moved from their proper location. Also, the frame damage is on the opposite side of where my fender and trunk lid do not align very well. What a strange and frustrating car! I'm beginning to regret the whole project!
