I first decided to have a good look to see what things were really like underneath, and I did not like what I saw. Lots of welding and some major holes in the floorpan, the drivers side was definitely worse then expected, rotten holes in the floorpan and something I had never seen before, rusted seat runners. The drivers side heater channel was toast, and it did not look too good behind the rear seat, this had rotted in all of the usual places.



The passengers side floorpan did not have any holes unlike the drivers side but it was very thin. Not sure it would be worth trying to save some thin metal just for the sake of originality.
