New rear outer wheel houses and trunk drop-off panels were installed. The process involves much test fitting, removal, trimming, and re-fitting to get it all to fit properly. T The panels are then punched with holes for plug welding.







Once the wells were in place, the trunk floor was trimmed, fitted, and punched with holes in much the same manner.







The whole assembly of tubs, drops, and floor were clamped in place and test fitted multiple times, then screwed together with sheet metal screws before welding.









This floor comes with the seatbelt mounts and seat brackets preinstalled, along with brackets for a floor mounted center console.

Only when all the panels fit properly were they welded together.



Soon, our body shell was one solid piece again.
