Stuck on the template for the sportpack arches. I didn't have a really good experience with those templates.

I had to enlarge almost all of the holes with a rotary tool so that the arches don't look all distorted.

 

What it looked like with the template holes:

Boot floor testing

The bottom edge of the rear seat was badly rusted, and it's one of the surfaces the boot floor sits on. I found a clever (I think) way to redo that surface.

 

While testing the boot floor on the car, I marked where the edge should be with paint and sharpie

 

Then redid the whole edge by itself

So now the surface is ready to receive the floor

One little panel to close an opening in the right arch

Everything welded now

I cleaned the rear subframe of everything, and test-fitted it to the car. I'm asking you here if it's worth saving or if I should buy a new one:
