Cutting and measuring-in the new Trunk Floor

The new replacement floorpan needed to be cut and fit into place before welding. This was quite painstaking to get a neat and tight fit.. The pics show the cut through the existing floorpan exposing the transmission mounting beam..


















I put-in, took-out, put-in, took-out, put-in, took-out the replacement pan..(get the point!?)..to make sure it fit perfectly; shaving of micrometres of steel until the floor fit neatly.















While the inside of the 'transmission mount beam' was exposed, I took the opportunity of cleaning it out properly and rust-protecting it with epoxy mastic..
