    Well, nothing too exciting, all the rust that was in the floor has been cut out and replaced. I also installed the subframe connectors the same way "franktf" did his, I still have a little connector to floor welding to do, then it a complete coat of paint to make it all one color. Most of the black is just some epoxy I had left over, that I didn't want to waste.

    "Looking goo ..." .... Does that mean the paint isn't dry yet? :biglaugh:

    Nice progress and I really do like the idea of popping the connector through the floor like that. One more way to stiffen that all up, and maximizes the ground clearance.

    Nice looking patch, Dave! Isn't nice to think that you will NEVER replace that piece again...

    I don't know if it's the correct saying, but I can pretty much call this car "Rust Free" all the rust has been cut out and replaced..I guess I can just call it "Patched Together" ...:D
