Well, I've done some research on this site, but need some more information. I'm planning to replace the rear trunk floor and noticed McMark's comments on this post.
Here's what McMark suggested for replacing the trunk floor... In this picture I'm assuming that McMark cut the existing floor pan just in front of the center structure, then spot welded the replacement on top, like this? Also, I'm assuming that the sides and the rear section are spot welded to the sides, correct? Finally, my car has the original factory rear sway bars, I'm assuming I need to remove the sway bars, but how do I remove and reinstall the upper piece that is welded to the floor? -- Rob |

usually we trim this to fit under the reinforcement and seam it there. Our nice piece that we make is shown in the picture. We made it that way for the bad cases when the floor would be rusted in front of the reinforcement. Again welding under the reinforcement is the best way. The pictures show an immaculate job, but they also show the replacement in the worst case scenario.
