Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild

I got started on the driver's side today but didn't get as far. There's a thin rubber mat bonded to the floors in the footwell area of the front only. After I made my initial cut I noticed the mat was loose and after peeling it back I found more rust. There's more rust on this side, so to be safe, I put a wire wheel on the grinder to remove it all. First pic, initial cut and the "bonus" rust I found after peeling loose rubber back. Second pic, the loose piece laying over the grinder. Third pic, all gone. I also ground the seam sealer out of the channel under the sill plate. I found a few pinholes to weld but it's all solid. A few tack welds, POR, new seam sealer, and it'll be ready to go. Last pic is the channel. Tomorrow I'll enlarge the repair area to get rid of the bonus rust and fit a patch panel.
