Floor Replacement |
First major task was the
replacement of the floors. What started out as a few holes on the
trailing edge of the both floors ended up with the replacement of the
entire floors front to back. |
| Rust on rear edge.
Difficult to see with the under seal is the two previous repairs in the
top right of the pictures. |
Rear half of floor cut away. Outrigger needed
only slight repairs to sill end |

Inner sill. Both sides needed extensive
repairs. The outer sills were solid having been replaced at some stage by
the previous owner |
Partly replaced inner sill. I found it easier
to fabricate it in 12 inch sections |
Old and
replacement floor for comparison. New floors were bought from SOC
Spares and were supplied in one piece. I found it easier to cut the
floor in half and fit in two sections. When compared with the old floor
the match was perfect. |

| Testing
the fit of the rear floor. I cut the rear floors to give a 3 inch
overlap on the inside against the transmission tunnel |
More
repairs to inner sill. New metal was cut and shaped along the length of
the sill. |
