Got some work done today.
Started by cutting out more of the floor right above the brace that the seat frame bolts to. I wasn't surprised that it was almost rusted in half. I got it removed and repaired but it will have to wait to be reinstalled until I can make a new floor brace to mount it to.
As you can see, one of the braces was completely rusted through. It will be my mission this week to come up with a replacement. Then I'll be able to start laying down some new sheet metal on the floors.
I'm getting excited about finishing the floor. When it's done I should be able to hang the car upside down. More on that later.
