Well, about a month ago I picked up this T code coupe in running(but disassembled) condition for $2500. The body itself is mostly ok...with the exception of a quarter panel patch I dont much care for and rusted floorboards(and presumably a rusted cowl).
I decided to start with the floorboards, a couple pictures from when I was/am adding torque boxes and floor-to-firewall extensions on both sides. In the one inside picture I had not yet re-aligned the torque box after cutting it in two for the install(with luck I will be able to install the passenger side as one piece...learned a few tricks on the driver side). On both floor pans I had to trim away the downward bending lip since the torque boxes have an upward bending lip that goes in the same place. I also had to trim 1/2" from the passenger side outward edge because the bead rolling on the pan was that far off from the car itself(fitment is currently continuing on that pan)
hmm, pictures are all upside down for some reason...but you get the idea.
