Start tearing in my interior and found 4 patches that will need to be replaced. I'm trying to decide if i do the whole floor pan or not? The tunnel is good but, the chair rail center supports?(not sure what the technical name is for them) and one good size hole behind the drivers side seat. I'm a big supporter of doing things right the first time, so if that means doing the whole thing then thats what i'll do.
I'm sure theres people with tons of experience with rust and these cars so any info helps. My car is a 73 1.7 |

Once you start cutting the " patches " out to where you have good solid metal, you will find that you might as well buy a rear pan half.

I figured so I probably will end up buying a whole pan just to know i have solid metal underneath. I check at restoration design i just wanted your guys opinion first before i drop the dough.
do you really need a rotisserie for this job or does it just make it more accessible? Once you start cutting the " patches " out to where you have good solid metal, you will find that you might as well buy a rear pan half. P345 http://www.restoration-design.com/mm5/merc...tegory_Code=914 |

I probably did 5 of these on the floor, lying on my back, before finally building a rotisserie. scrape all of the tar board off, go over any rusty spots with a knotted wire wheel and see how big the spots get.

Where is the rust? If it's small areas you can fab up parts or get custom cuts. Otherwise (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) restoration design Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |
