What floor pan? All I see is asphalt.

Wow! That makes my little 3" slit in the floor look like small potatoes. Dave at TRE has taken pity on me and is going to cut a 10" square out of an old pan he has laying around and send it to me. After getting that welded in and a little POR-15 treatment on a few other spots where the undercoating has failed, my little T/R project will be set with a very dry and solid tub. After stripping it down and crawling all around and under it now for the last week, I am amazed at the condition it is in after 37 years. This car had to have spent its whole life in CA and been garaged a good deal of the time. Right under the floor insulation where people step into the car, it appears vulnerable to water intrusion and breaching of the coatings. I also found evidence of a previous repair to the left front suspension mount, right where the battery acid can have ill effects on these SWB cars. It is in great shape otherwise. I'm stoked! Who needs galvanizing?
