Shoot a pic when you can. I cant imagine a shop from this area doing a bad job on the floorpans. Most of the shops have lots of experience doing the install.

Look for welds on the sides of the center tunnel. The center tunnel sits on the floorpans with a half inch lip running the full length of the tunnel. They weld the floors to that lip. This is normally covered with the tar paper. Spot welds will be clean... mig weld will be obvious.

You know, while I was out poking at rust and taking pictures before the rain started, I thought I might as well post the pics here. So if you guys don't mind, I think I'll just use this very space to document the progress of this small task over the next few months. It'll save me the trouble of making web pages.

Pics too follow.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)

A little surface rust in this channel. Not entirely certain what it's purpose is.

They all have it though. The donor-mobile has the same seam, but it's covered in seam sealer.

The seats and backpad. These will be stored for future resale. I'm going to use the cherry backpad and seats from the donor car.

I almost forgot to show this pic. The worst of it. That rust continues up the console and under the battery tray.

Another daylight sighting from interior panels. This is the passenger seat belt mounting hole at the "repaired" section

Although the rust stops at the cross brace on the passenger side, this is the driver's side in front on the brace. That's a rusty hole that's coming apart.
