closed up most of the huge hole in the floor board behind the seat bracket. Had some issues spanning the size of the gap, as Im using some scrap shelving steel, none of which is wide enough, but I was able to weld in a piece of steel off of an oven for a large part. (a suggestion I read on here, very good idea provided the material is thick enough).

Heres a pic forward of most of the rust removed that shows the extent of the rot- Gradually closing it in, with luck, I should have the pan done tomorrow, and painted with some POR-15 (if it arrives in time). Then I can let that dry and bring the inner side of the rocker channel down to the floor pan, and weld in the seat support.

Received all clutch parts today, so as soon as this rust project is done, on with the tranny work.
