mcmlxxxv Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thx guys :) I bought my weight jacks for the rear coils today . Still need to rebuild the rear floor section to install them on a solid base . I hope I ll be able to finish the floors this weekend even if my nibbler cutter broke .. Still thinking about what I will do with the passenger side quarter panel too ... If i cant find one in decent shape I might have to make one.... Anyone can post me pictures of the front seatbelts bolt location? :) Also if you have advice on rear spring rates that would be apreciated. Thx Quote Link to comment

djfootball Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Noob question. Just curious. Is there a reason the "X" is stamped in the floor boards that you bought? Are they structural? Also, what gauge is the steel your using for the floor boards? Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment
mcmlxxxv Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 floor boards are 22g , and the X is to avoid the BOING BOING when you put weight on them :) Quote Link to comment

djfootball Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'd like to see what you end up doing with the trunk hole or how you repair it. I'm going to have to cut mine out as well. Quote Link to comment
mcmlxxxv Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I will patch it with a sheet metal that i'll get grooved , much like the X in the floor pans or something like that , but I must repair the floor aroud it before and repair the rear frame rails holding the bumpers. dont worry , I will post pics :D Quote Link to comment
