I'm about to cut the floor out, and I was looking for somewhere to put the jack stands when I saw this...

There isn't one in the other side either. Am I missing a few screws? (Other than the ones in my head...)

::: great :::

I'm missing that one, and it's twin on the other side. Do those come loose often, or did I just find another PO mistake?

DAPO... the bolts hold the rear of the gravel pan on, but they also hold the front suspension on the car.

Replace them ASAP.

Someone took off the splashpan that protects the steering rack and master cylinder. You will also see two more threaded holes for two 8mm bolts (parallel to the ground). DLee

Yep, mine were missing as well. Only drove my car around the block a couple of times before I decided to do some brake work. Posted the same pic as you after I crawled around and looked under there. I got the bolts and pan off a donor car.

geez...all you put those bolts in! You should:

1. get the bolts
2. get a pan to protect that stuff
3. fuel filter and fuel pump should be up above and under the tank..that is where they put it in 75/76 model years.

Good thing you are going through this thing!

Yeah. I'm starting to be real glad I'm taking the time to go through the whole thing. I'll be doing more than I thought I would...but that's half the fun...right?

Actually, I'm really enjoying this. The plan is to drive it to WCC...we'll see how that goes. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Yeah, I don't really have a problem with the fuel pump there as long as it's securely mounted and you have the gravel pan in place.

xsboost90, looks like your bolts are in place, but your drivers side horn is in the wrong place. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

For those that need to find this hard part.
