Quite a while spent grinding those plug welds down then it was into the rear valance close out.

 

So pinned everything in place

Plug weld holes drilled ready for weld

Welded in place

Ground flush and seam sealed

So hopefully after the dentist has rebuilt my smashed tooth tomorrow i can fit the valance.

Bit on something hard and felt something in my mouth and yep a bit of tooth. The following day another dirty great chunk went as well so not much holding the filling in. Need it done pronto as I'm off to Antigua fri.

Tooth has had some Dentist equivalent of Upol Fantastic filler as a temporary fix so fingers crossed that will do. If not I will be forced to drink even more beer and cocktails. Who am I kidding I will be doing that anyway.

Looks like this is at the same place as mine. Had to put a small cut in my floor pan to line up as well.

The problem i have have though is the rest of the floor pan although intact has a load of spider tracks in it. I may end up fabbing a new one.
