This past weekend, we replaced the hinge on the rear hatch over the bumper. Did other stuff too, but the focus here is the rear end of Little Girl. The bottom of the hatch frame was bent, so I took the little piece of inside skin off so I could whale on the frame with a block of wood and hammer to straighten it out (which I was very successful at doing btw).
When I took the inside skin off, the pictures below show what I found. Apparently, at some point in the past, a PO had done a repair to the rear floor channel. Not a very good repair in my eyes… But, probably to fix a separation problem I’m guessing. There are 8 bolts total and each one has the frame cut away for access to the nuts.
Anyway, I think I need to replace the rear floor c-channel when I pull the floor out. Thoughts?
