Left side sill ledge piece. Had a couple of burn-throughs so these beads are a bit fat.

So after 3 days of measuring and fitting and aligning, I was confident enough to weld in the seat bracket mounts. I did the hinges and floor mounts first, then lined up the front bracket that holds the tilt adjustment teeth.

Here's the left side:

While the car is upright, I started welding in the rear cross member brace that goes on top of the trunk floor.

Bottom of the floor is nearly done! I flipped the car upside down to weld on the seat reinforcing strips and finish the welding along the butt seam between the front and rear sections.

Also welded on the front jacking donuts. Feeling good about the reinforcements I put on the inside surface of the floor above these.

Once I weld the rear floor edge seam, I can attache the rear gussets and donuts and the floor will be done!

Got to the rear seam, at the base of the firewall in the engine compartment. Plug welded all the way across plus seam welding the edge of the center tunnel, just like original.
