Cutting out spot welds and removing the trunk floor.
The replacement floor would have a lip where it would go under the tail light panel.
I plan on trimming the back of the panel so that it can be spot welded to the top of the rear brace that goes across the back. This way it would butt up against the tail panel
I do not plan to take out the tail panel and will use a two piece trunk floor.
Would this be a good way to handle the install of the new floor panels?
Additionally, I was going to grind down the welds on the bottom only for the trunk lid latch
brace. Can I tuck the new floor under this brace without removal?
I am also planning to reuse the gas tank braces, do the originals go under the tail panel. I want to be careful in not damaging them for re-use.
And; where are the trunk extensions welded to the main trunk floor?
I ground down the sloppy welds that were on top between the main floor and extensions.
Any words of wisdom on this are appreciated since I have not done this before!
