A question for the collective: where best to cut for a front right corner splice? My floor is original and straight, except for the outer-most corner, where it is bashed in. The front panel was replaced once before (at least all but the left 1/3). The inner fender was crumpled a bit.
This photo shows the donor clip. Some options, as I can see it: Red: separate the seam between the floor and the inner fender and front panel. I will then have to straighten and probably patch a bit of the original floor in the outer corner. Yellow: cut the floor between the reinforcement for the forward suspension mounting and the vertical brace. Might be challenging to get a good weld with sandwiched metal. Purple: variation on Red or Yellow to transplant more of the front panel. The donor panel is straight below the weatherstrip channel but dented a bit lower down by the holes. The receiving car panel is straight lower down but got dinged pretty good along part of the upper edge. Other options or ideas? Attached thumbnail(s)
