after scraping some undercoating and also what looks like roofing tar, i discovered some troubling findings up in both torque box areas (front).

It looks as if someone replaced front TB's .

This scares the hell out of me due to the quality of work that I have unearthed through the rest of the car. I can see that the toe boards are gone over the top of the torque boxes. Someone decided to say the hell with it and just run the torque box tops as floors.

Inner cowl sides are ate up as well. Someone was in the area, replaced torque boxes with tiny little flux core mig welds, at least half of which are missed welds, and they didnt fix the cowl sides or toe boards. My fear is that they also did not locate the torque boxes correctly. The TB on the LH side is the wrong one for the car, there is no guide tube for the E-brake cable. (so they just unbolted the e-brake and tossed it)

here is one of many bandaid style overlay patches I rempved from the fender well side of the torque box to firewall area. Anyone missing a glossy brown metallic chunk of metal from their 1992 Bonneville?

I'm going to crack open the RH cowl side today and try to develop a plan to move forward.
