I'm building my 64 similar to this one, and every time I'm about to take a shortcut, I tell myself what you said... Yeah I know nobody is ever gonna know, but I'LL know. When I'm all done I want to know I did everything right to the best of my ability. Love it!

If it could be possible the need for all of those punched holes would not be needed. Would like your feedback.

Lada was made in the soviet era too. The Lada and Moszkvics has one or two same parts like carburator and some other stuff. The Lada made after the Fiat 125. The russians bought the licence the fiat 125 and he make his own. In the soviet time Hungary is the part of the Soviet union so you can buy eastern car. My family had a moszkvics 2140 car and we sell it around 2005 os 2006 maybe.

It's best to install a full floor pan with new bushings to the frame first after prepping all areas. That way you can make sure of the total fitment of the pan and it's bushings to the frame. Also it's easier then to lower the body onto the frame from above. I use my ceiling lift points daily for that.
