So.......once the driver side inner and outer sills were all buttoned up the next phase was to repair the floor. I had bought replacement footwells which dealt with most of the rust but there was still repairs to do where the floor meets the bulkhead and also there was a section between front and rear footwells that needed to be fabricated. On top of this I have decided to have a side exit exhaust and in order to make a bit more room for a silencer under where the rear seat would be I decided to raise the floor in that area by slicing along the transmission tunnel and lifting the floor, this in turn necessitated the fabrication of an infill panel. In order to keep the factory look I rolled beads in the panels I made to line up with the beads in the existing panels.

I also added an extra strengthening plate from the subframe mount down to where the subframe brace bolts tho the rear floor to stop the floor from flexing due to loading from the subframe.

Before moving on the the other side of the car I need to clean all the welds up underneath and weld up any pin holes.
