Passenger floorpan finished

I got the passenger floorpan finished and painted tonight - just the seam sealing to do, but I need to do the whole underside so I'll do that all at once.

That marks the end of the nearside, next job - the offside!

Passenger floorpan

Well I spoke too soon on my last post (about working outside). Just after posting that I went out and did a couple of hours on the passenger floorpan, half way through welding though the skies opened and absolutely soaked me, my welder (switched on :-S), all of my tools and the car.

I was pretty annoyed to say the least. In fact I threw my angle grinder as hard as I could at the car and then sat in the garden in the rain sulking for half an hour.

I've calmed down a bit now thankfully and got the passenger floorpan finished last night. It took quite a bit of welding as I also had to tidy up the area around the inner wing and the transmission tunnel. Once again it was too dark to take photos by the time I'd finished but I'll try to take some tonight.

That should mean that the nearside of the car is now finished. Next job is to start the offside, which is going to need at east as much work...

Front NS Floors

I started to cut out the front floorpans today since they were pretty rusty.

The passenger side needed entirely cut out, and there's rust around the lower subframe mount.

Thankfully I've got a complete panel to replace all of this so it should take too long.I had to remove the rigid fuel pipe as well since this runs under this side, I'll be replacing that with a new one.
