OK, just remember that everything takes forever to do on these cars, even things that shouldn't. So, if it's a relatively easy place to get to (like your floor) I'd leave it off until you get your car up and running. You then might decide you don't need it, or you can then put it on your list of "to do" after you get the real stuff done -- and you will have plenty of real stuff. Puhhhlleenttyyy. I'm serious, though. It's something about these cars, but even the simplest, half hour job can easily spill in to an all-day thing.
