still to dress welds
with the floor on the rite side in I removed the brace and drilled the old tunnel out what was left of it ,the new tunnel smaller ,but on drivers side don't matter ,as il make a exhaust tunnel ,passenger side will get a filler panel

Awesome project!! It was rough though, but you've been doing a great job! At least you can get pretty much every escort panel easily enough, that's gotta help. Any idea on the colour scheme/planned engine?
