Having ascertained the condition of the passengers side floor -- not good -- I decided today was the day to explore the other side. The work went much faster, a natural result of having done it once. I found the same shoddy floor repair panel and was trying to get it removed, but ran out of time.
Found $3.96 is loose change under the rear carpet, and a Honolulu newspaper from 1999 under the front carpet. What was that for?
The funny part was how the original gas pedal mount was accommodated. After pop-riveting in the new floor, having cut out the original mount, they riveted what used to be the old floor to another piece of sheet metal, then riveted that to the new floor. No sign of rust prevention. The original piece is all but disintegrated. I'll need to get creative to repair this.
