The right side compartment behind the front steer was a catchall mess. I never did anything with it until now as it was basically a place to toss loose tools and parts. Since I had to remove two bolts holding the cross braces of the condenser for the now defunct and removed dash air, the exposure of the space made me realize it was time to clean it up. I have since welded the bolt heads to the back floor of the compartment so I would not need to get an assistant to hold the bolt when something underneath exterior needs to be tightened down. I have sanded the surface rust, Por-15 the space and installed new carpet tiles. Carpet has self adhesive strips on the backside but I also brushed on contact cement for a more secure and permanent hold. I do use deep plastic trays to keep stuff in so the carpets should stay clean.
