With the body off, there is a ton of rust and dirt that needs to be cleaned off of the floors, frame head and front torson beam. We rolled the chassis out in to the backyard and spent some time pressure washing all of the dirt and crud off of it.

Once back in the garage we used the angle grinder and spent hours of wire brushing the rust off of the floors. It looks like the driverside floor is too far rusted to save, so it will be replaced next week.



At this point, we have the front end of the car sitting on a dolly and wood blocks so the front end can be removed and dis-assembed. Its just an easy four bolts, and two brake lines that need to be taken out to get the whole front end off.. Not Bad.



The torsion beam front end however, has some serious rust problems that will need to be cut out and patched. Luckily we have some replacement plates that will work perfectly as this type of rust is common, and replacement is common. The front end needs a complete rebuild.
