Then some sections can come free, exposing the interior firewall space--and a bit of surface rust (but not looking bad).

Only had about an hour in the garage today, so just finished up the rest of the left side. I will get the remaining interior remnants once I spin the car to horizontal.

I discovered the trailing edge of the tunnel has welding, in addition to the spot welds.

Getting ready to work on the right side, which was down near floor level. With the lift feature of the rotisserie, I was able to raise the car about 18 inches, and make the working height much better. Nice feature.

Got the other side done today. Now I need to grind off the spot weld remnants and clean up rusty metal--and look for any spots that need replacement.

Interior cross brace is also fully gone. Ground off a few surface welds (not spot welds) at the center tunnel.

Before fitting the new floor I have a few things to fix, including a dent in the bottom of the right long. Probably a dumb attempt to jack the car up from the middle. The photo makes it look like only the flange is pushed in, but the flat surfaces are also bent.

Agreed!

You are really doing a terrific job documenting your work to the benefit of anyone that will face this task in the future.

Thanks, Mike. Documentation makes it more fun for me.

Now for the front corners. I had already explored the left side, so just some clean up (drill out the seam spot welds and clean up the sill surface). Sill looks solid.

Right corner floor looks about the same, just a slightly bigger area cut out. But the inner sill has a rust hole!

Fortunately, the rust-through on the sill is small, and the rust was eroding from outside in. This should be easy to patch before jabbing a new floor corner.

Another sill problem: the inside of the left sill has the classic web of cracks, near the folded recess for grabbing the parking brake lever.

For better access I drilled out the rest of the spot welds to detach the left edge of the remaining floor. With the floor propped out, I ground a recess along each crack for better weld penetration.

Just for fun before quitting today, I mounted the replacement floor section. Fits nicely, but will need trimming on all sides.

Just some trivial work today, straightening one of the rear floor triangle braces.
