This video started out as removing the dashboard, seats, carpeting, and interior to swap in new parts I purchased. In doing so, I uncovered rust holes in the driver's side floor, which was caused by rust holes around the windshield, Apillars, and cowl. The problem was exacerbated by shoddy repair work done many years ago. In this episode I cut out the rust, and replaced the driver's side floor pan.
