Since the front floor corners are where the front jack point donuts, mount, I decided to reinforce things on the inside.

While welding in the neighborhood, I filled in some holes in the floor from where a PO pop-riveted some sheet metal in a cheesy attempt to cover the holes in the floor.

With all the preliminaries down, its time to fit and weld in the rear floor panel. To make that easier, and avoid any asymmetric sag with the car sideways, I rotated the car to upside-down.

Got the floor panel fitted today. My plan to is do a few spot welds along the sides, tack a few spots on the butt seam with the front floor, and a few short beads along the rear edge. Then I can flip it sideways again to get all the flanges on the inside.

Before welding on the new floor section, I painted the areas that will be inaccessible (inside the center tunnel and the firewall). That's Rustoleum self-etching primer.

While waiting for paint to dry, I started work on the rust at the base of the A-pillars. This is the right side. Note the small hole above the sill edge (and remember the car is currently upside down). That was probably from when somebody pulled the pillar straight from a previous collision--and did not bother to fix it.

Here is the rusted section cut out, after removing part of the sill edge.

And a cardboard template for the patch. (The left side is about the same, maybe a bit smaller.)

Thanks, Doug. I may need to pick your brain soon. I hear little voices telling me about how I should "improve" the car and deviate from a stock restoration.

Back to 914 work today. First up: finish the A-pillar patches. Here is the right side patch in place.

Left side patch, a bit more challenging since the base of the A-pillar is curved inward for clearance for the fuel vapor hoses.
