<VV> Floor pans

[Keith Wells]

Hi folks, I have been lurking/learning over the past couple of months 
as I have passed the time awaiting the temperature to get into a more 
hospitable zone in the garageWith the coming of Spring it is time to 
get stared in earnest on the new cara 63 Monza 4 speed convert 
with the 102 engine. I have learned so much about Vairs over the 
winter, from members at my local club, from CORSA, and from this 
list. In all, I have experienced a very welcoming and enthusiastic 
atmosphere that I never enjoyed with any other car I dabbled with 
before. This is good, for as I dissect my little project I find that 
I am in deeper with this car than any other previous Lots to be 
done, which brings me to my first question. I need new floors. Any 
experience with the pre-formed panels from Clarks? I have never 
welded in floor pans before and dont know how to go about cutting 
out the old floors, esp at the attachment to the frame rails at the 
front and rear. Also, I have rust out at the dog leg on the 
rear frame rail (incorrect terminology for a unibody, but I think 
you understand what I mean). Any experience in repairing this? The 
rest of this car is solid, with good rockers etc..  Just has small 
holes in the floor and that one worrisome spot in the dog leg at the 
rearwas inspected and tagged when I bought it and unbelievably being 
driven around townThanks so much for your thoughts
