And then ... Welding... Welding... Welding....
Although the whole exterior is rust free, and the floor pans at first glance were rust free.... Poke around enough and you'll find that all the floors get weak on the MK1's if they see winter. This one was saved with minimal patch work. Re-inforced the seat rails which tend to rust right off... and then you've got some problems. Did not take a BEFORE welding picture on this side (passenger side) which is the worse. Drivers side has a little rot in same spots... Will take pics when I start on that side.
Before -- Areas that got welded and re-inforced are circled:

Re-inforced outer seat rail

And all buttoned up. under coated, and ready for sound deadening material.

By the way I got a complete dark blue interior Seats- seat belts- carpet- dash, etc,etc.
I do need 4 door dark blue door cards if anyone has a line on some.
