Question

I am pleased you all thought I was not a freak by maintaining my own 4x4! (older question.) I now feel accepted and thanks!
My next project in the pipe line is to replace the floor in my Landrover, it has rotted in a couple if places and yes everyone, I am doing it myself!!
Cross members ordered and mig welder at the ready LOL X

Answer 1

well done girl glad to see it remember and clean the metal well to get a good weld with the mig a good angle grinder with a flap disc with a large grit content and go for it most of all enjoy yourself doing it

Answer 2

Finally! Another girl who works on cars! lol
If the holes in the floor are only in a couple of places you can make the repairs with Por-15 products. http://www.por15.com/
My dad plans on doing that to his Renault 4CV. The floor is heavily damaged so he plans on using fiberglass cloth and Por-15 rust preventative paint. You can purchase fiberglass cloth from a local model airplane hobby shop or from an online supplier like Tower Hobbies. There are different weights available for this fabric so you'll want to use the mid or heavy weight version. Por-15 themselves can supply "powermesh" which is similar to fiberglass cloth.
..and I have a '62 Plymouth Valiant V200 sedan that will get the fiberglass treatment in a couple of areas. When dad and I get to restoring it I plan on doing the body work and paint job myself. I would also tackle the seat covers but I don't think my sewing skills are up to the challenge.
