The reinforcing angle I left in place ...hopefully the new floor will come up to it perfectly (if not I'll modify it as required). I was careful in this area so as not to cut into the seat belt reinforcing plate underneath.

It's in good shape with little rust...it's completely re-usable if I need.

Kick plate area where new metal is required....inner sill is pretty solid here....

...I'll be removing the transverse support so that I can drop the floor half sections in without having to cut them lengthwise. Again, I used the same approach to detach the residual floor panel pieces and peel them off.

...the inboard end the transverse support is attached with spot welds to the tunnel side (which I drilled through ) and a full seam weld along the lower flange which was ground off.

...the centre was attached with 6 or so spot welds on top and along the side tab out flanges and a seam weld along the bottom..

...the outboard end...had nothing but some surface rust in between!...Now I'm really glad I decided to remove this piece completely and weld it back on properly later after it gets a proper de-rusting and paint!

I'm really glad that the tranny support bracket to tranny tunnel spot welds are located much higher than those for the floor flange in this area. It means that the support bracket does not have to be removed and therefore it's fore\aft location will not been disturbed.

The front jack point will be removed.

Today I just had to do a dry fit so as to get a "warm and fuzzy" on the floor progress so far. Mind you I haven't really had a chance to grind the residual spot welds down so this dry fit wasn't a straight and easy drop in.....the rear floor section seems so far to fit quite well.

..the front is not bad overall....

...however, there may be some correcting required at the front seam of the forward floor (the picture may not be showing the panel in it's correct forward position)...so I may be incorrect in saying this at this stage.

The next task will be to repair the rusty areas on the rear kick plate.

This weekend the task was to begin repair on the 2 rusty spots on the passenger side kick panel.

..the outer corner definitely needed to be repaired....

..the inside corner looks not too bad but the thickness left was about .030 inch or about half of the .060 material. So I decided to repair it anyway.

...on the back side I cleaned off the sound deadener material by scraping followed with varsol solvent....it actally came off quite easily..

..for good measure (and practise) I welded the other side as well. Because this piece is of quite heavy gauge materilal, I was not concerned about distortion and so I ran longer beads than I would on the outer body panel sheet metal.

Fabio you're too kind!....if I can approach the quality of of work you've done on your TI Super I'll be very, very pleased. By the way, have you had a chance to post up some photos of your car on the BB? I wish other BB'ers could see the work you've done to date on your car...it sure inspired me!

Rossano...I started a thread in the Car Restoration section - My Giulia Super Restoration Journey. As well, under my signature is a url to my Flickr photo site. I've posted all of my photos thus far as I thought it would take too much time to post my past work in detail on the thread. When I get a chance, I will add notes to the Flickr photos to describe what they are. The new stuff I will continue in the thread...although it will be paint & finish related as the metal work is done. And...thanks for the compliment...

So here is another unusual area that one wouldn't really expect to see much rust and yet there it was underneath the dash, carpets and floor deadening material! Now I've been staring at this bulkhead far too long in it's current rusty state and decided this past weekend to tackle it with my wire wheel.

With the passenger side floors out of the car, I have pretty good access to underside of the upper bulkhead and so now was the time to get down and dirty.

...the lower areas cleaned up pretty quickly....the upper took a little bit more effort and a lot of it having to work upside down. I also removed all the sealant which had a lot of cracks and open spots in numerous areas.

I removed the corner support for the dash, so as to clean it up behind there....this will make it easy to fix the spot welds that came loose on this flap piece ( I bent it up a little.. again to clean under it).

If only Alfa Romeo had painted these areas ... and properly.

You will find the underneath of your dashboard is completely unpainted too and as rusty as
