914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Making Progress! Need advice on the floor now.

Posted by: Gigamight Mar 22 2010, 03:34 PM

First of all, a big THANK YOU to Chad ( 13b914 ) for the donation of the floor piece that I needed. You have some good karma coming your way Chad.

Now I need some advice on where and how to cut. I am replacing the rear floor area in front of the firewall on the drivers side. Can I get some advice on where to cut, or a thread where someone has documented their progress? I have looked at a lot of threads (replacing a floor is not new, I know) but I cant see if I should drill out spot welds, cut in front of the firewall or what.

I have never tackled this sort of project before, so please be patient with me. I don't want to cut in the wrong place and screw it up.

There are pics of the area in my thread linked below.

Depending on how bad it is you may need to drill out all of the spot welds on the underside around the piece you need to replace. With mine I was able to just cut the piece out from the inside and butt-weld it into place. Not sure if that was the *correct* way to do it, but it worked.
