i guess good work on the repair, but why the heck would you want that as a "new" car? You get it for free?

its 16 gauge steel. i just bought the car for a daily driver with awesome gas mileage. i had to put an oil pan in it, and when i was reattaching the exhaust i punched a hole through the floor...thats when i noticed how bad the floor boards were. because of all the undercoating...it was holding it together and i didnt notice. someone also did a solid repair to the pinch welds and rocker panels. again...if i had seen it before i bought the car, it probably would have changed my mind. but when i bought it all i saw was a clean hatch for buffalo. Why would i throw a car away when i could fix it for a solid day of my time? Its not that much effort, and im confident in the repair. I would have just driven it as is, but i didnt want it to get worse. Theres not any frame damage. I know since its a unibody that the floor boards provide some support, but its still solid.

After this year it will become a track ----- anyways, so it really doesnt bother me.


This is what i saw:


I wasnt just going to give it up because it had some floor boards missing.
I just hope the welds dont give out at 140 mph.

I just hope that when "Danger to Manifold" flashes across the screen that they don't fly out and act as a frisby behind the car.

ontop of that, you should lay an extra bead over the existing welds on your intake so you can say "I totally had you" and actually "had" him in the end. Just wait on that last spray so that Torreto is one sly *** ****.
