The previous owner told us the hell hole and longs had been done and he seemed like an honest car guy. So that was dumb and naive of me. It was clear that a bunch of work had been done around the hell hole, which looked good from the engine bay. When we got it home and on the lift we were faced with a rusted out lower firewall.
Ordered a firewall repair panel. We pulled the engine today and cut out the lower firewall and it’s pretty ugly.  |

Made a milestone today. We’ve been doing part and rust removal from this car since we got it. Today I got to actually weld a new piece on. It was a small but therapeutic milestone.
Welded in the floor patch I had fabricated.   Tim |

I’ve been going to school on your posts. Tim |
