Hi all
While I have a bit of time at home I thought I would do a few jobs on the 90 that I have been putting off. The passenger foot well is wetter than the river Avon and the clutch has been slipping for the last year, so here we go:

First job was to strip the foot well out and find the rust!

I have cut out a lot of the rot, but the more you look the more you find.

Check the drivers foot well and that is solid but will remove the floor as the whole seat box will need to come out if I am going to do the clutch as well.

Battery box has seen better days so that will need sorting now too.

The battery box on mine looked the same until I had it welded.

Did you have it plated out of interest or a whole battery box replacement?

I had it plated. Longer term I’d like to replace it with a galvanised one.

Got the seat box out and the rest of the floor - got the Bty box off ready to rivet the new box on.

Next job was getting the front wing off to gain access to the foot well.

Clutch all done and gearbox back in, no massive dramas so far, found another hole in the chassis so a bit more welding.

So a big clean up of everything and a few other little jobs done, and then start putting everything back together.

Forgot to post a pic of the new foot well, I admit my welding isn’t the prettiest here!

As you can see above I had to fabricate the right hand side of the foot well, as I had to cut half of it away.

From the outside, and this is why the wing has to come off.
