  5. So had a massive battle with the stormy weather and the light and before I start a massive thank u to @davidoft for the 300+ miles round trip to help me weld with gas ect and help fit the floors and teach me to weld no stopping me now !!!
    Managed to clean off old floor pan lips and prep new ones (fitted very well ) cut out dodgy repair on tunnel and repaired very neatly (Dave did this )
    And then got both floor pans in and welded in and seam sealed will get better pics tomoz as poor light
