Finally patched up my '88

Got my car in '07, it was sitting since '03 and it had some pretty bad rot on the floors. After sitting for another 3 years i finally got it to my dad's shop last summer where I tore apart the inside and started cutting. 2 weeks ago I finally patched up the floors and its now back together and I figured i'd share my progress =)

Looks great! Was the floors the only rust you found on the car? I love the seats.
