10/6/2001 - Floor and Sills Finished

Spent this weekend on my back. Unfortunately there was no one on top of me. I was welding the floor and sills.

 

 

While I was down there I had a couple of hours scrapping the dreaded waxoyl and underseal off. I have now completely stripped (back to bare paint) the chassis and floor pan up to the point where it kicks up over the back axle. I intend to stoneguard the whole of the floor and (hopefully) somehow get under the car and spray it body colour (Daytona Yellow). Somehow methinks this will be too much grief and I'll end up undersealing it again.

 

 

I have now finished the floor pan, having replaced inner and outer sills on both sides and the drivers floor pan and plated over a few smaler areas. I have not 'cheated' - I cut out the old panels before welding in the new ones and the 'jobs a good un' so I'm happy. I've finshed the panels off with a run of seam sealer over all the welded areas and joins and coated the lot in grey primer for now.
