in the hole...getting it into position was kind of a challenge, the rear transition panel to the trunk was in the way...it needs to be cut out anyway, but I didnt want to start cutting before welding in the floor...but we made do

however once I started cleaning up the trunk floor I found some pinholes, so I Might as well replace it with new, and then might as well do the x member new and assoc parts...or maybe throw in the towel, and find a better car

just gets frustrating when its a total pile...was supposed to have a sure grip too...it doesnt, good thing I have the correct 742 case grip in stock. but on the other hand I could put the 8 3/4 under my convertible and drop the dana in the runner...hmmm then a 4 speed...maybe I should just get it solid first

is the rest of the x member solid? as in, could you get by with a small patch? seems like your almost over the hill on welding?

cleaned up the trunk floor I had, just to see how bad it was and if I should drop 4 bills on getting an amd floor, oddly enough the 2 holes that opened up when i first started to clean it up are the worst of it, another small hole opened so I guess I can deal with 3 tiny patches

the holes shouldnt be to hard ro fix...there is some pitting but once its sealed and painted and a trunk mat it will be all good.
