OK, took a couple of pics this morning. Still a little pissed that I lost all of the work that I saved until this point as it was a real PIA to take off my gloves so not to get paint and crap on my phone !!
I love white Tremclad. It's thick and hides a lot of the imperfections. So in total I have 2 coats of POR15 on the floor and 4 or more coats where I put patches in then a nice thick coat of Tremclad over that ( mostly because I think I have OCD and I didn't like the look of the grey and black patches of POR on the floor).
This was the big patch on the PS side floor front
Dark shot of the PS Floor Rear
DS Floor front after 2 coats of POR15 and 1 heavy coat of Tramclad. If you look closely you can see where I patched the floor on the top of the rocker. It was about the size of a quarter but I meshed it for appx 18" and put 4 coats of POR on it before painting overtop.

All in all it was more work and took longer than I thought and I bet I still have another 4-6 hours to put it all back together.
This is what my trunk looks like working on your car, in the driveway. Notice the foil bubble wrap I am going to use to try and keep the heat down.
Can't help posting a few pics of the new and improved engine bay as well.
Before:
After the computer delete and a 350 swap
A shot of it going in, and a shot of my buddies '83 Elco in the background with the 6 speed swap and some other go fast goodies.
I want the tremclad to harden up for a few days, maybe a week before I get the interior in ( but that pushes things into Fathers Day weekend and my wife and kids will be pissed if I spend it in the driveway wrenching on the car again ! ).
Really itching to git this buttoned up and take my car for a drive because I have only put about 100 kms on it since the motor swap and that was with only the drivers seat and passenger seats in the car ( no backseat or carpet and a trunk full of tools ) so it was noisey and crap sliding all over the pace every time I got into the loud pedal.
I need to get the interior in, the AC working, an exhaust leak sorted out, and my roller rockers re-adjusted before I can cruise and finish breaking in my motor. Then I have a posi-rear with 3.73's to bolt in and then I start thinking of upgrading the trans again..... things to do, things to do.
