Thanks for the props. It's very satisfying to make some decent progress. Didn't get quite as far as I'd hoped over the last couple days, but progress has been made. Did a final clean up of the floor pans prior to the carpet going in. The carpet that came used a fairly decent mold, but no cut outs were present in the piece at all. This makes fitting a challenge and time consuming. Here are the final pans
Passenger side: It's hard to see, but there was a porous area just under the ecu connector and I used a bit of fiberglass mat topcoated with por15 to seal it up. It's a great technique I took from the store that sold me the product.
Driver's side got topcoated black and seam sealed
Passenger rear was stripped in any areas with bubbling and coated. You can see an area I've used seam sealer. The 99-00 si front seats don't quite match to the 92 bolt holes for this one mount only. The way I solved this was to drill through both sections of the frame rail, use a nutsert in the bottom rail and run a spacer tube to the pan. It was welded in place and ground down.
Driver's rear was pretty clean except for a little strip which was coated. same technique for the mount here. Both the factory holes were plugged with seam sealer to prevent the ingress of moisture.
Here's how far I got on the carpet installation. Pretty far for a few hours in the darn cold.
Peeking into the quarter panel hole you can see where the area was also treated with por15. I coated everything I could reach inside both sides.
