Hi Everyone,
I have a Series 2 that a previous owner "repaired" some rotted floor pans with fiberglass. First, is fiberglass a reasonable repair? My thoughts - no, cancer should be cut out and new clean steel welded in. Second, since my feeling is to remove the rot and replace with new, do any of you know a company/person fabricating floor pans in the USA/Canada/Mexico? I reached out to Dave Laremont a couple of times through email, with no success.
I understand floor pan replacement is hard job, but I just think it must be done to restore this car correctly.
Any help on a reference or plans that I could use to fabricate my own (I have a small bead roller - would have to make sections of floor pans and weld together - not my first choice either) is greatly appreciated.
I have the car up on a rotisserie so I have reasonable access to all sides.
Thanks for any help and ideas,
Glenn
