Rear floor repair.
Posted: 15 Feb 2009 13:24
Now I've repaired the front of the left hand floorpan on my DHC, I'm onto the rear. I've got a couple of questions to ask those who have gone before. I've already cut away most of the rusty stuff, and I have the floor repair panel and the fillet repair pieces for both halves of the trailing arm mount.
As I see it, I have to rebuild the bottom of the bulkhead and the flange that attaches to the bulkhead floor, as well as using the repair panel to rebuild the floor. So which do I do first? My feeling is to repair the flange first. What do you think?
Also, has anyone got any photos of the fillet repair pieces in the process of being fitted? It'd help me visualise things better.
Thanks,
