Look at any of my hell hole repair threads or the pics on my website and you'll see what you are in for. Your car will need to be seriously braced before removing any metal. If you want to repair the car, gut it, get the tar boards out of the floor and take a wire brush to the floor pan inside and out along the back edge. This will tell you where your floor pan is. I can guarantee you, you will need and engine tray, upper and lower wheelhouse, inner rocker, jack post and support, jacking triangle. May possibly need a floor pan section,lower firewall,suspension console and engine mount as well. It's hard to tell form pics, and even in person it WILL get worse than it appears to be.
