that method of repair is not going to last. it doesn't matter how well you clean it and attempt to seal it, moister will get behind it and rust worse then before.but this time it will be festering behind the fiberglass,until the fiberglass is all that's left . car looks good tho

wont let me post pics off photobucket ,something change ?

nah they don't fit,but it wouldn't take much honestly, lil bit of fab and they would probably go

still have this car guys project is on hold still. been busy with other projects my bike a tractor another crx a Datsun 620

I don't think you can buy floor boards for the first gen 3rd gen or the ed ee ef chassis. I use 22  or 24 gauge cold rolled sheet metal,which can be bought at any metal supply place. for a welder I use a miller 211  mvp mig ,which is a kickass welder ,it is 110 and 220 volt .

as for tips when I do floors or any sheet metal work , I mark out my area which is reasiest to repair with paying attention to bodylines and using them to your advantage with welding, weld near a body line reduces risk or warping,there will always be warping,but it will be minimal with the integrity of the body line there.

I also use posterboard for making templates of the patch. I transfer to sheet metal ,cut it out and trim until nice fit

space your welds starting with tacking the panel in place on each end and or all corners and then tacking with 1 inch spacing until the entire patch is done .then do beads filling in the patch ,jumping from side to side with allowing time for the metal to cool.

when grinding ,grind with the weld, staying on top of it until blended into the sheetmetal. don't go from sheet to weld to sheet. it gouges the metal and looks like shit
