Now the floor.
Working from underneath, I used a 7mm drill to drill out as many spot welds as possible. The rusty floor gave way rather too easily in a few places, leaving excess holes on the tunnel flange. Never mind, these will weld-up.
A lot of rust fell out of the tunnel, but when the floor was finally off, most of the rust had come from the inside of the floor, which is not an issue at all.
Next, I need to cut the tunnel to allow the frame to be shortened.
