The previous owner told us the hell hole and longs had been done and he seemed like an honest car guy. So that was dumb and naive of me. It was clear that a bunch of work had been done around the hell hole, which looked good from the engine bay. When we got it home and on the lift we were faced with a rusted out lower firewall.
Ordered a firewall repair panel. We pulled the engine today and cut out the lower firewall and it’s pretty ugly. |

Got the car on jack stands and all leveled out using my buddy’s laser level in preparation for probing the passenger side long. There’s a number of areas along the long that have rust holes at or near the bottom.
Working on building and installing 2 door braces for the passenger side before doing anything to the longs. I was encouraged that the body lines are pretty straight to start with. Attached thumbnail(s) |
