Rough cut on the repair piece:
After some shaping:
Clamping in place to weld:
Raw welding work:
And after some smoothing:
View from the inside:
I decided to try a different approach to the floorpan corner where it curves in to meet the wheel well:
Here is the section that needs to come off; rusty and pretty beat up:
I will overlap the repair piece with the good metal that remains:
Test fitting:
A gap needs to be filled here:
Remember I said the little pieces can be the hardest to do. It took me 4 tries to get this little bugger right:
Next comes the bottom of the A pillar’s inner panel. I used a hole saw in this piece:
Then cut and flanged it to match the mating pieces:
This portion of the wheel well surround, where it joins the mid-rocker, is pretty straight forward. The screws are only there because I can’t get a clamp that far back to hold them together:
Now to start welding:
One more little patch, and a drain / access hole, while I can still get at this area:
Here I’m just checking all clear, before I put in my roll cage reinforcement:
Now to patch in this contoured piece of the wheel well surround:
These kind of pieces are a bear to get fitted just right:
Finally time to weld:
Not sure why I do not have any pics of finishing this area. I will take some if I need, to finish this part.
