Was it possible to buy just the outer floor edge repair panels in the past, say the 1990's.?
The car i have just started to investigate has butt welds along both driver and passenger sides, poorly excuted though.! The sections are ribbed indicating they are bought panels. There is also a crease/ raised section on the long, not sure how that happened. ? Any of you long term restorers know if you could buy these floor edge pieces way back ? Here's a couple of pictures. Many thanks. Dave   |

The welds are not ideal, BUT if it's a driver, a car you plan to keep and drive hard as often as possible or even just a daily driver - the welds there do not need to be pretty. I mean it looks like the welder just didn't go back and knock the welds down to me. That might be fine for a certain class of car tbh. Also, there is an argument to be made that butt weld left alone are stronger (something I've read in the past I believe).. no biggie as long as they are thoroughly done and solid. jmho.
If it's a car you plan on selling eventually then fix it right or be prepared to divulge this to the seller and maybe expect to sell for a little less, imho. |
