Crouching Rubber, Hidden Rust

I finally got tired of the rain pouring through the roof (even with the targa top on) and got Sean to replace all the rubber seals in the roof.  Naturally, he had to take the seats out to do this, as it requires clambering about inside the small cabin.  Of course, when he did this, he checked for rust (this is something you should always do with an older car, especially one without rust protection).  Of course, he found rust.

Of course, he fixed it.  AND added in a frame stiffener (914s are a bit weak along the cabin frame).  VERY nice work.

Rust under the driver seat.
Frame stiffener and insulation.
More padding/insulation. Notice - no rust!
Cabin re-carpeted. No sign of Sean's work.
New rubber seals - apparently a major pain to do.
