looks pretty crusty. Cut until the rust is gone, weld until the holes are gone. Get an old hood/door or something and use that to fill in the holes....or buy the panel but..

You can see air through the suspension console through one of those holes. That looks pretty bad. Not unfixable, but it will take a lot of work to revive that car. Here in CA, that's a parts car.

Take up all the tar floor covering with a heat gun. then you will be able to see how bad the floor is and you will have a better idea of the extent of the rust.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Hell hole, longs and suspension console are the important areas as far as rust goes |

a little cutting and welding for sure. You'll have to fab the replacement pieces - they don't sell that upper firewall piece as far as I know. Check the hell hole on either side, you may have to do some work there as well, unless this is from a wet sound deadening pad.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1109827817.jpg) imagine the coincidence... a signal orange 73 with a dark blue respray with rust in the same place. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1109828667.jpg) (thats primer in the engine bay) Stick with it though. Mine's all cleaned up now and awaiting reassembly (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1119242956.jpg) |

I feel your pain Richard.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)
Found this when I went to install the new carpet. Seatbelt attach bolt.....wasn't (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) . Glad I didn't need them in the 500 miles I put on it prior. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) Good luck my friend, everything's fixable. Just depends on how much time and effort you want to invest. (see Michelko's "Diggin' into Hell" thread) Attached image(s)
