A few photgraphs of the work I have been doing on my MGB.
The photo's show the floor before it was removed during repair and after.
After I grit blasted the mess underneath it reveavled that someone had performed a pretty shoddy chassis repair that had subsequently rusted out.
Also I discovered that someone had already replaced the floor (badly hence it rusting out again) and had drilled out all the factory spot weld and left me with 100 or so crappy drill holes to weld up.
I fabricated a couple of repair sections, cut out the grot then welded in the new sections. I welded up the holes then painted everything with Etchweld. I then stripped the new floor pan and sprayed that with Etchweld also.
After welding in the new floor I covered the new welds with more Etch weld.
I still have the seams underneath to weld up, and after the sill is replaced in January I will finish welding the outside edge of the pan.
