I’ll have to grab more pics of the work under the trunk floor, I can’t find them on my phone now. I ended up having to weld in a new cage nut in the rearmost location. Best time to do it with everything out of the way I guess.
Finished all the trimming tonight and was able to get the new trunk floor test fit into place. There is a small section remaining (forward end of the fuel tank brace visible in the pics) that I’ll cut out and weld the new piece into place after the main section is in. It’ll be more accurate going in after and will be pretty simple. It’s already been rolled into shape and is ready. This whole piece basically friction-fit in on all the edges and lines up nice. Shouldn’t need much filler rod at all when I weld it in. I’ll have maybe one more evening to just prep the underside by removing any primer, paint, and undercoat on the old metal. Welding should go good… pretty tight fit on all 3 of 3 sides.
