Feeling a bit defeated today. My goal for the day was the remove the trunk support, floor pan, and (time permitting) the cowl. However, because sheet metal always wins, I only managed to get the trunk support removed. I did manage to get the remnants of the extension brackets removed from the quarters. It may be for naught as there isn't really much left of the flanges on the quarters.
I also keep finding damage that looks like it came from a minor accident and a possible foray into off-roading. The driver's trunk floor has damaged I've mentioned before. Well, the passenger side has some damage on the drop off that looks like it bottomed out on something.
The kids were "helping".
Oddly enough, none of the spot welds on the back end of the driver's rear frame rail took.
What's left of the extension brackets.
The tail panel was replaced at some point. The just cut the old one out and put the new one over the top of it.
Damage to the passenger trunk drop off.
And the worst part, I found this after removing some bondo from the passenger quarter.
Looks like I won't be able to save this quarter after all. I'm wondering if I shouldn't just replace both quarters and trunk floors with all the damage back there. It's all solid, but I don't know if new sheet metal will line up correctly.
