Floor Pan (2)

OK, I am about finished cutting out this floor pan, just need to do some cleanup and kill the small amounts of remaining rust, and bondo the remaining holes (or at least cover them in some way).  Now I will cut a much bigger piece out of the donor car and trim it to fit.

Floor pan (1)

Started work on the floor pan today.  I realize it's not the best looking job and I don't quite know exactly how I'm going to fix it, but I did make some progress!  Just bear in mind that I have never done anything like this before!

Out with the old

I got those 2 mangled inner fender pieces removed and was glad to see very little damage or rust underneath.

A peek in the cowl area.

Inner Fender Damage

I took off the door and fender today to survey the damage to the A-Pillar and the inner fender.  I'm glad I found replacement parts.

Parts Car Update

I am definitely going to get my money's worth out of this :).  I have already removed a good front valance.  I am also for sure going to use: both headlight buckets and all fixin's (unfortunately, I just bought a couple on eBay... so I have spares if anybody needs some), the fender and quarter panel from the driver's side, the front inner fender (mine is smashed from an accident in 1985), I can also use the fender from the other side if I decide I need it, the front grille (which is in perfect condition), the radiator support, the driver's side floor pan, and the glove box lock.  Those items are well worth the money I spent for this car.

Parts Car

I found a parts car on CraigsList today for $450. I taken a good front valance off of it and expect to also get a driver's side quarter panel, radiator grille, front fenders, inner fender, and maybe even a driver's side floor pan!  It also has good GT style door panels if I want to paint them.  That was well worth the money spent.  It also has a good grille, headlight buckets (with all innards), etc.
