It is pretty much impossible to find a willys with a solid front floor..not just here in Canada but anywhere..I had noticed that even in places like Arizona they all seemed to be missing floors to rot..As it turns out this is because of the way the exhaust is routed..they run it between the transmission cross member and the body..Exhaust fumes give off sulfuric acid which will eat a floor within a decade or so,depending on how much its used..that being said one can expect to have to do this if one wants to keep original instead of aftermarket..I suspected this was going to be a process and i had reserved an entire weekend to deal with it,to my surprise i was done by mid afternoon on a saturday..Its actually quite easy to do..tools that are needed are as follows:an angle grinder,a cutoff wheel,a 6 pack of premium ale and a bit of patience.![Proper Willys Jeep front floor/firewall replacement 101 Imag1010](https://i.servimg.com/u/f62/19/62/47/15/imag1010.jpg)

the floor from the drivers side,yes that is concrete that you are seeing!..I opted to remove the driveline for rebuild and then i removed the actual body tub to make things easier..you can see that the firewall itself had been cut into in several places likely to run extra options over the years..many spot welds to drill out but i found it easier to remove as much of the floor and firewall as i could before i drilled out any spot welds...from there i was lucky enough to find an original front floor/firewall section that had never been installed..once all the old sheet metal was removed it actually fit like a glove.![Proper Willys Jeep front floor/firewall replacement 101 Imag1011](https://i.servimg.com/u/f62/19/62/47/15/imag1011.jpg)
