Got to tear into the car some more, trying to get the hard part started. This car, as you have seen, has rust issues. Kind of all over the place including pretty much the lower 5 inches around the entire car.
I got to cut into and remove the entire outer rocker panel assembly. Previously I trimmed the outside, but this time I dug deep and separated them from the inner rocker panels at the spot welds. I think this should be a fun and soul cleansing experience, if I can get it done without screwing something up.
This is the Drivers Side front piece below the door. Notice the damage to the cross member. Not quite sure how to deal with that yet.
This is the Passenger Side front piece. Same issues here.
This is a picture from below. This is one of the cross members that need attention. All in all there are three braces extending across the body.
