Remore the right 'over floor'
|
| |
Started
to cut out the top layer of floor. Allot of the welding here
was poor and just snapped off when tapped with a hammer or
pulled. |

Original right floor
|
| |
This
is whats left of the original floor. The rear section isn't
too bad but there are holes in the inner sill and one on the
tunnel near the gear linkage. |

Remove the original floor
|
|
Began
to carefully cut out the original floor. When I'd released
the inner sill section the outer sill practically fell off. |

Fitting up the new floor panel
|
|
|
The
new floor panel was a tricky fit. It needs lots of timming
and tapping down into place with a hammer. It's also a tricky
devil to properly clamp down in place for welding. |

Wheel arch
|
|
|
While
cleaning up the bottom of the wheel arch where it meets the
floor it was obvious this was full of small rusty holes so
the bottom was cut out and a new peice made and fitted. It
was made slightly long and bent round the floor pan to mimic
the shape of the original. It will also need a plate for the
sill closure but i'll do that when I fit the new outer sill. |

Clamps
|
|
|
Clamping
the floor panel down is difficult, I bought several clamps
and used them to hold it in position so it wouldn't move or
warp when welded. Because the gear linkage is removed I used
that hole to insert clamps to hold down the inner section.
I still could not get clamps in to hold down the front heel
board section. |

the new floor pan is welded in. |
