So I popped the access panels off the tunnel, and despite the tunnel looking solid from the top, and solid from the underside of the car, there is soooo much rust in there. I had a field day with the magnetic pickup removing all sorts of crap. I even found a walnut shell, don't know how that got in there. Its enough rust that it worries me. Is this tunnel thing separate from the floorboards? How would I go about replacing it? Hell, do I try and plasma torch one side off of it to get at the rust and try and tack it back together?
Thanks, Alex |
