you do mean the floor pan right? The floor pan should just be bolted in with a rubber matt sat on top
I once had a mate as well.
:Cry:
yeah right
i mean the floor pan, the place around the levers, the sides of the metal below seats
i will take some pics of that this weekend
and maybe i can take them off...
well the bodged footwells may have won the battle but the war goes on. I recently bought a series 3. It failed its mot on a few little things and the footwells. I made the guy get me the failed mot cert to prove this before i bought it. The foot wells have been made from riviting old pieces of bulkhead (which had just been repaired) together in 2 x 2 inch bits. But the war goes on and as the new whole footwell replacements have arrived the angle grinder is going to have fun tomorrow.
Ok. It's been a while but work begins. My previous post was about the previous owner making the footwell. Well now I can see why. They have used a LHD driver foot well and I suspect wondered what the holes were for.
Right I have started to remove the old footwell and am realising that I need a door pillar. Which I find easier as I can just cut the whole lot off.

Right. Old footwell out.
Easiest way was drill old spot welds and just cut the rest taking as much rust with it. Here you can see the holes where I am going to pot weld with the mig.
From inside it looks much better. Going to plate the rust gaps from inside.
The door pillar one reshaped with the hammer will get pot welded with the mig again.
