First thing to address was the floors. On the plus side, it seems to have rusted from the inside out....the car was originally equipped with a rubber floor mat (which was under the carpet) that didn't do it any favors. It's surprisingly solid except in the front, which I expected.

From here, it's scrape, wire brush, vacuum, scrape, wire brush, vacuum....then fire up the compressor and cut out the damaged driver's side. I plan to have this floor completely done within a week.

The exhaust was rotted from the axle back, so I bent a new section over the axle and installed a Thrush glass pack. She sounds pretty mean
