So, work was slow and lethargic today. Zero energy. So I got home, and thought I would start prepping the hole in the front trunk for welding repair. The replacement trunk pan had some rust in the front passinger corner, in the hardware. But my trunk was good in that spot, so it was no big deal, so I thought.
Start up the angle grinder and start wire cupping the tar rust proofer out of the front of my car. Man, wouldn't you just know that the tar was hiding a ton of additional rust? It is just enough that I don't think that I can use the doner front trunk pan. Also, it looks like my car got a nose job at some point in the past. Lots of welding marks in there. Damn!

Rockhound, you have a PM. May it serve you better then it did me.
I'll start the search for a new trunk floor when I get back from camping on tuesday. Hopefully I find something quick. That front trunk is a _BIG_ checkpoint on the completion ladder. Zach |
