You better believe these are coming out so I can fix the rot. I am now on the fence as to if I am going to reinstall the passenger side brackets. They could add strength to the repair (I do not think they will add much strength to the whole length), but it is weight. I am also considering this because it is something that uses a spot weld for an attachment instead of a nut and/or bolt. Also, to tell you the truth, the front seat guide really does get in the way of moving around the front passenger seat compartment. I would hate to have to make an emergency exit out that side and get caught on the stupid thing. I guess I will have to look at it and decide what I think I should do.

And trust me, I have no illusions that this car will EVER make minimum weight. If it does, I might pass out on the spot. If I do, would someone please wake me and tell me it was not a dream?
