Progress on the floor:
Everything out, flanges cleaned up. Floorpan trimmed down on the tunnel side.
The aim will be to secure the pan in place with a few clecos and then get a few spot/plug welds in on the front, back, and sill sides. The overlap on the tunnel will be held with a couple of clecos and then trimmed using the edge of the floor as a guide. This will leave a nice narrow gap for butt welding.
I also have the extended underfloor rails, which can be welded up too. The seat mounts need cleaning up, but I won’t be reattaching them until I’ve fabricated floor mounts for the roll cage.
Oh, BTW - my latest episode of “but my Z is totally rust-free!”... here’s what exists in some more factory seams:
So kids, never assume even the prettiest dry state car will not have grot waiting to spread courtesy of our damp climate.
Ran out of Spraymax epoxy, but grabbed a can of Upol’s Raptor version. Looking at the can, I’m convinced it is a relabelled Spraymax product. Easily available and cheaper on an individual can basis from Euro Car Parts.
