Rust repair on the firewall

Before I weld in the new floor pan I needed to fix a couple rusty sections of the firewall.

Finished fitting the kick panel

Yesterday I finished fitting the patch for the passenger side kick panel. I also bent over the lip of the floor patch panel where it meets the firewall. The floor panel was stamped with an angled edge so it doesn't quite meet up with the firewall at the far right edge. I'm going to have to make a small piece to fit in there.

Finished fitting the floor pan patch panel

Today I finished fitting the floor pan patch panel. To hold it in place while I fit the other panels I screwed it down with some self-tapping metal screws. I'm starting on fitting the passenger side kick panel.

Rust repair

I started on some rust repair this week. I am replacing some rusted out areas of the floor, kick panels, door supports and rockers. Before cutting I braced the hinge side of the pillar with some scrap material I had laying around the garage so it wouldn't move and mess up the door alignment.
