[chappo1970]

Ok another update.

Pimped the pan



Marking out the pan to replace DODGY battery pan fix done years ago by the look of it.



These next photo's show why it had to be replaced



As above



Old vs new



Too late now to change my mind



Mocking up the fit

A little love tap here and there to make it fit



Prepped for welding



Tacked in place



Welding it fully off

Those floor pans look positively fantastic compared to the ones in my brick before I did them. I think I could see more daylight than steel.

Anyway, a couple of ideas for you Chappo...

Good work, solid and done properly. I popped over to another HB'ers place the other day and saw his mint 1600cc bug - member is Barls. What is it with brewers, IT and beetles?
