Slight deviation to the subject, I've also been busy repairing the rotten driver side floor pan.

Measuring up, cut a bit, measure, cut a bit, measure, cut a bit, measure, sure you get the idea.

Welded in and started running some sealant round and underneath shot after underseal applied. got a lovely touch of arc eye for my troubles too, lightened up the mask a bit too much, didn't I.

Bit of paint to finish off. I was going to do the passenger side too which wasn't too bad and only had a few pin holes in so I wacked a blob of weld on them and ground the tops off, will do for now, time is getting on to get the car finished.

I took a bit of the rear spoiler to Southern cars and had it made up and it looks pretty damn close, they gave me the formula I can give you a copy if you like Miles?

And thanks for the positive comment mate

Much better mate. Amazing what a bit of metal and paint can do!

Looks too good to cover if you ask me!

I was thinking of taking carpet completely out, but think it would be too loud inside might try it anyway.
