Do you know if it the full length of the floor that needs replacing? I think the biggest job with these is keeping the shell rigid while cutting out the old floor, I know Ljonez and Dai have done them on thier van / estate so hopefully they will be able to offer some advice  |

thanks for the link was a good read
no dont think it is the full floor just the front bit here the driver puts his feet
take a look at the link he wants £650 for it im not sure. i have no idea what they are worth or what year this one is?
this is his reply to me
Fine to come and view it if you like. The rust sint that bad considering it has never been restored. As the add says the floors are totally gone and need replacing but the car comes with those panels ready to fit.
As for other rust there is a hole in the bottom of the front panel that is about 2inches by 4 inches. Little bit behind the head light and a small amount to the left of the bonnett. As far as i am aware thats it.
oppinion? lol
cheers phil your a star

I'm pretty sure that car used to be from Swansea and on ebay about a year ago, If I remember right the whole floor would need replaceing but worth checking out, I sold my clubby estate last year with tax / mot for £1300 and that was in pretty good condition so it would depend how much it would cost to repair or how much of the work you could do yourself.

Make sure you tack some scrap metal across from doorframe to doorframe and across the back end to keep the shell the right shape. otherwise youll never get the doors back on...
