No garage work today. I only had a spare hour, and did this instead.

I had a similar exercise as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

It was some wet heavy stuff.

Back to work. First prepping all the joints, grinding out remains of spot welds and cleaning up metal.

Then fitting the new floor section. First trim the excess around the edges, and then cut the remaining floor piece to fit. Decided to keep as much of the RD panel as possible since some of the rust extended forward of the cross brace.

Ferg,

Bob is doing a great job. It will be nice to have another 914 at Cars & Coffee in Durango!

Bob used to campaign a 914 in Texas a few years ago.

Thanks. We found a local architect who designed the house to fit the site--and our preferences. Of course, I should have made the garage bigger.

I have really enjoyed getting to know the local car crowd, and feel welcomed. If we could only get Colorado DOT to stop laying down gravel instead of sand on winter roads.

A few things to do before I can start welding in the floor. Item #1: welding the web of cracks in the left inner long, at the parking brake handle recess. A little sloppy (my excuse: upside down, which I could have corrected by rotating the rotisserie, but...).

And then grinding (and then some more welding and grinding).

And before I forget, I welded the rear sway bar mounts to the new trunk floor.

Item #2: Straightening the bottoms of both sills, with dents probably from jacking incidents. Here is the right sill.

I made some studs that can be welded onto the sill seam, and screw into an adapter for my slide hammer.
