Floor Replacement

Hi Graham, this is a lot of work, the minute you start digging around you will find that you will need to replace a range of panels and if you haven't
done this before then its not for the faint hearted. I would weigh up the costs and the time that you have available and consider if its worth
'patching' it up for the MOT and then undertaking a 'restoration' a bit at a time or just go for it.
You will need to buy a MIG (or borrow), angle grinder, bolster and chisel lots of protective gear plus all the panel work, I would buy two complete new floors (£200++) and you will probably need innner A panels (£20+) lots of paint and door gap tools.
To do this properly you would need to remove the sills (£150+) this would give you complete access and of course when you have welded in your floor to attach the new sills would be very straight forward and at least you will know whats there.
I've attached a picture of my car in progress, if you need anymore photos let me know.
