Small update, i have prepped the cut out area for welding, plus trimmed the new panel to go in.
I'm starting to lose track... 9 days into the month and you have replaced how many floor sections??

Here is a bit of an update the pan is ready to be welded in, check how snug it fits, you can see even though it is a fury floor pat it fits perfectly in place. The spare heater core was checked for leaks and it weeped water so cant be used. Yeah Stan, that's the garden hose!

Here is an update, the floor pan is fully welded in and after I took this pic I ground back the weld to flush, then put a skin coat of body filler over it to make it smooth. Monday I should have this part finished.

Awesome Gary. Looks nice. I guess I need to get the windshield out of the parts car here soon. And another excuse to come down.

I will call you in a couple of days to discuss a plan of attack after the floor is finished.

WOW that is awesome. Thank you Gary. Very nice. You got a plug to put in that hole. Keep the kritters out.
Wollfen

The hole is for the seat when it bolts back in.

The second hole has to be drilled by me from below, I will do that tomorrow.

Okay, after talking to Bob last night he decided to get me to pull up all the carpet and check the rest of the floor, if there were any pinholes then we could deal with them. After removing the carpet there was a lot of scale present which I then vacuumed out. Turns out that it was worse than we thought. Check the pics, the drivers floor pan looks complete but it is very thin and cant be welded, the whole thing will have to be cut out like the passenger one was. As you can see the passenger rear footwell is rotten, luckily I have the pans to do this and so I will be getting stuck into this over the next couple of days.

Bob is sad. This is the first official set back of this project. Gary & I put a plan of attack together last night & this was NOT part of it. Like Gary said I have the parts to fix this fortunately. This is like your football team has the ball in the red zone & fumbles on the 18 yard line. The other team runs the ball back across the 50. Now your offensive plays you just discussed in the time out went right out the window & now you are on defense. Oh well.
