| Finished Floor and Righted Car ( 07 - 09 March 2003)
I was ready early on Sunday to get going, but the boys were lazy. I had to go in, give them an ultimatum, and storm off before the sleepyheads
showed up to help flip the car back to "normal-side-up." The day before, I had finished up with POR-15'ing the left floor panel and setting the rear floor
stiffener to rights. I was anxious to get the car back to normal (at least in orientation). This wasn't a tremendously productive weekend, but it did
have that milestone.
The floor looks pretty good, too.
