Does it really matter? They all look just like mine without all the rust and dents!

It looks like a pretty clean start in the pics, keep up the good work.

Check for any stress cracks in the rubber.

Good looking car. That PO repair under the carpets looks like something I would do, so don't slam it too hard, although I would have fixed the seat rail. My carpets are coming out soon, and I am somewhat concerned about what I will find, I know there is one small spot by driver's left foot, I can see it from the wheel well.
Keep pictures coming, and give us a lesson on proper floorboard repairs!!

I wouldn't say I'm going to be giving anyone a lesson but I hope I can do a little better then the PO did.

Well if you are in WA state and the car is 30yrs or older you don't have to have it smogged. I have removed all the emissions from my 76 and no problem. If you aren't driving it daily you might be able to get collector plates as they are $43 for life no more tabs and just a back plate.

I'm in Oregon and all I know at this point is I have to get the car to the DMV for a VIN inspection before I can eve transfer the title.
