response video addressing techniques and products to handle small holes in the floor pans. #mgb #classiccars #automechanic #restomod #restomods #britishcars #convertable
I am not sure of cost but looking at the state of the floor I would have thought just buying a new floor pan would be less time consuming and much neater . Putting patches on here and there is a bit of a botch job . I say that as someone who does loads of patch welding / botch jobs for customers who just want their car through the MOT
Truth... But in this case, there appeared to only be a small patch near the Gas pedal that needed to be patched. But when I removed the sound retarding material, it revealed more pin holes. If I had it over to do again, I would have purchased a quarter pan for the drivers side. Hind sight is 20, 20
This car was a barn find. And Tom's knob was clogged, and a hole in the top so the pattern of accumulation looks like top down, not bottom up Also the whole underside had intact undercoat. Looking back I had underestimated the damage. Initially thought I could just do a few quick patches. Probably should have replaced the whole pan on drivers side
Great video! Thanks a lot for your good work and swift reply!

Great video! Thank you! What did you do with the front seat mount that I noticed was rusted out since you cant access it from below?
I covered that in this video
Basically used a magnet to hold the patch in place.

Pragmatism in action. Good Job.
Is the corrosion from inside moisture collecting under the carpet or from the outside?
