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

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.

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.

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
