I've decided it's time to get going on the pan. The rusty floors we starting to bother me. I wound up using the halves off the 59 pan that was under the car when I bought it. They did not have a rust pit anywhere on them and they are original VW sheet metal. Next up was to cut the rusty pans off so they could be replaced. Once I cut them off, I had to grind down the remaining spot welds and spray the area with a weld through primer.
The new pans have been tacked in place. I need to get some help setting the body back on top to make sure everything lines up before I weld it all up. It's not every day you see a 69 pan with 59 pan halves in it. But at the same time, you can't buy pan halves like this either. They are thick and fit perfectly. There was no shaping or pounding of any kind to get them to fit.
