Floorpan Fun

Attached a couple of pix of the floorpan around the seat - couple of nasty splits, and the seat is heading downwards!! could of been a touch embarrasing if I hadn't noticed it early enough

anyone know someone who could slap a patch on till I can afford a floorpan replacement? (which won't be for several months) in the sydney northern beaches area preferable

the only alternative is going to be pop rivet a patch on and glass it up to keep the water out - which is a serious bodge!!

cheers

Terry

couln't attach 2 pix, so here's the other!!

It might not be, but is that a big slab of fiberglass near the rust. I think you might need to rethink the replacement panel timing!:cry

Oh yes! - back half of the pan is well glassed up, pretty solid though - much better than the front half which seems to be made out of the thinnest steel known to man!

Thats going to make it almost impossible to weld up succesfully then.

Make plans for those Floor halves to be fitted.

Mate i know you may not have planed to fix the floor pan properly yet but that looks Very VERY dangerous

indeed, time for a big make-over. my father almost had a similar problem in our old rustbucket/cortina. took it to his mechanic for a service, mechanic pointed out that he could see the road beneath the drivers seat. not a good sight.

I am going to have a good rust free and repair free pan and chassis available soon
Interested let me know.

Hi Silver

definately interested, give me the excuse to do a proper job on the poor little beast - it's a 69, so I assume I need a pan to match?

give me a shout when you're ready - terry@dtsband.com

oop's my pan is a 66'

bugger!

assume I need a 68 or 69 - is that right?

looks like it's going to a cut and shut job with some new halves
