Something to try before you start cutting out metal.
For pin holes like those, stick an appropraite size nail in the hole and see if you can weld it in. If the base material doesn't disappear (too thin) you've saved a lot of time and effort. Grind semi-flush. BTDT. BTW, that looks like a sound pad deal rather than drains. |

Also, look inside the tunnel. My car has a similar problem due to a long-term leaking rear window that the p.o. ignored. The water also found its way into the tunnel. As a result, I found a huge quantity of rust flakes in there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

QUOTE(seanery @ Oct 19 2003, 07:17 AM) I think Andy's car started out as a short winter-type project! actually, it was a "quick-fix", one weekend, clutch replacement ... turned out to be more than a 1 1/2 years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Andy |

QUOTE(boxstr @ Oct 19 2003, 11:53 AM) Dave If you are going to all of the trouble to drop the motor and pull the pedals and interior, why not do the job right and not half assed. Have the areas that show signs of rust media blasted and start with the best surfaces that you can. It will also help to find any other areas that you might not find by scraping. CCLINBLASTVILLE And so begins one mans journey... LMAO! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) M |

Got the pans cleaned up. Paint thinner, acetone and lots of elbow grease. Not a fun weekend. Joe was right about some rust in the center tunnel.
