Weekly Saturday trip to the body shop. Progress this week:
1) Repaired all the rusted weather strip channels in the front trunk
2) Mocked up the flared F/G rocker panels and the flares for my approval
3) Took out homemade (DAPO) battery tray and passenger side engine shelf
4) Dug out all rusted sheet metal in “hellhole” area

Decisions made today:
1) F/G 916 bumpers from parts car are so bad it would be cheaper to source new ones and hope they don’t take much work to fit
2) Replace rear half of floor pan due to rust on passenger side
3) Replace all 4 seat hinges and mounts ( drivers hinges broken, passenger hinges OK, but mounts are rusted)
4) Replace passenger side ending shelf with new
5) Replace battery tray and support with new
6) Take off the spot welded flange on targa bar and seam weld deleting the bright trim
7) Replace jack tube supports and jack tubes(?). The supports have some rust on underside, and they are cheap enough. That way we can get any rust that is under them taken care of now.
8) Weld eyebrows to light doors
9) Gave OK on flare placement

Pending. Or under investigation
1) try to source a high mounted brake light(LED) that will integrate into targa bar rear edge
