well.
The front part hangs off a flexible area that is for the door hinges and the back is also on a flexible part of the rear panel.

Pull on a rear fender and see how much the rear door gap changes.

For structure bracing I go from the inner long, just above it where the speakers would be up to the upper seat belt bolt.

One large bar will do on each side.

Then, given what you are replacing, build a square tube horizontal box inside the car, as low down as you can and once that is in place, weld an X onto that setup to hold the entire chassis square as you remove the rear firewall.

A simple search for "+floor +bracing" returned plenty of search results to look through. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I'm not sure of the size but I seem to recall it's imperial and not metric. I could be wrong though.

Looking good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Question....

How did you get the paint off in the nooks and crannys such as the ribs on the firewall? Can you actually get a 8" sanding disc in there?

Keep up the good work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Hard to tell with the rain and overcast.

Looks like faded guards red.

Point of reference, SirAndy's avatar shows guards red.
