thats some dedication on this motor...great little update on this one....love the "cage".........nice work on the inner arch.....

Cheers! Still lots to do on it, no going back now!

Coming on nicely mate, that cage is a work of art.

Got a bit more done, I bought some half floors from ex-pressed panels a while ago but since then the new one piece floors have come out & since the floors & inner sills on the sport are a mess I took the plunge & bought one of those instead
Heres some scary pics of it now I've cut the floor out




Fortunately the cage is doing its job keeping everything in place, nothing has moved or twisted which is a relief!!


cover sills have been welded over the originals in the past, full of rust, I've left these in place for now to line up the new floor with.


Floors needed to come out, rotten inner sills have been plated over.

Some nice work can see why you built the Severn bridge inside it now

Looking foward to the next instalment, I love a Sport

Holy shit!!!! Brave man

[Gillibrand]

excellent work there matey

That's similar to what mine needs new floor sills and chassis

but put it off for a bit while i do a quick more door project

and still cant decide weather to do it or sell and get a better shell

Cheers Vinny, floors are nothing that can't be sorted out, I knew what i was letting myself in for It will be worth it in the end once its finished

I've been cleaning up the edges, put holes in & trial fitted/clamped the new floor in place, also a trial fit of the chassis rails to make sure everything is in the right place. Good news is its a perfect fit, very pleased with the quality of these panels, next job is to make a start welding it in!

[HarrierTony]

Nice start you have made there mate, deffo looks a spot on fit. I do like the look of that one piece floor, I may have to invest in one of those on my next project. Keep the pics coming

[procky]

those complete floor pans are just the job.

[RS2000EXPRESS]

Wow, that floor looks absolutely superb!
