so is it worth it to repair my floorpans?(pics)



jack point is that round donut thingy next to the swaybar mounting point,
and jacking on the control arm is a very bad idea, I jack the car from the
donuts, then support with jack stands on the ridge that runs under the
control arm front pick up point; i.e. under the big ass bolt that holds the
controll arm on...

as for the damage, I just used a BFH on mine, put a block of wood on the
floor to spread the force out though...
