Nice work pal ! I bet that plasma cutter made getting panels out easy didn't it?

[damien]

ha the plasma was great for cutting out the layers of patches and brill for the full floors.. what wld ye,s guys reckon wld it be fair to say the colour is Tuscan beige or maybe something else close to that? is there just the one shade?

Looks a bit light for Tuscan , think there are four beige's , Sahara being one .

[colhonk2]

Mine is something like that,if not worse in places sadly. did you put the floor in from underneath or through the windscreen opening? Was there a Light Beige? as mine has a sticker in the boot with light beige-80 on it.

[damien]

funny u ask as the first full floor I fitted went in the rear window, but this one wld,nt go and we slipped it in the front window. ah so four different shades of beige, this is a 1980 car the nosecone is still in paint will get a pic up thanx..
