New Floor Pan Prep

This morning I fixed the passengers side Floor plan. Here are a few photos of the 4 hours of work. I purchased this front pan from Ray Cave. Ray is a great guy and has just about anything you culd want for used Honda parts. I was originally going to rebuild this from scratch but this turned out to be so much better than fabing this part form scratch


Here is a shot of the pan before I removed it. You can see that all along the diagnal brace its rusted.



The pan the way I got it from Ray.



Shot of the pan removed. I used the lip of the seat brace as the place to join them and the roceker panel edge along the side. Along the front its installed like it was at the factory and at teh tunnel its a butt joint.



Final trial fit before tack welding

I have the diagonal brace yet to install and then its on to the other side. With any luck I will have teh drivers side done Sunday and I can do the final welding this coming week after work or next weekend. Then its time for a full sand blast for the underside and a couple coats of PPG etching primer and DP epoxy sealer.

Spring is Here

Its been a while since I posted any progress on my car. I am in the process of installing a new front floor pan I purchased from Ray Cave. Im hoping to get the underside buttoned up and epoxy primed soon, then it's on to bodywork.

In the mean time here is a fun video of a really nice S800, enjoy
