Taking the body off is a big job. I skipped it mine needed same job i cut rear floorboards out as one peice on each side. I had some ranchero bed plate . Used cutouts for template cut and welded bedplate in. It was fun
Seam sealer is just it seals the seams and doesn’t do anything for bonding. You could look at panel bond using the screws to hold the panels together while the panel bond cures. I’ve never used it for floors but a lot of modern cars use it and it’s used in place of welding in some cases. I would do some research on it for floors and if it will work go with that.
Those are actually considered 1/4 pans. I’ve never done them. Personally I think it’s easier and gives a better result to just replace the whole half pan and not stitch in a 1/4. But you’re stuck with what the customer wanted.
@@swhitcomb03 I personally prefer to only replace the rusty metal leaving as much of the factory metal as possible when I’ve done rust repair. That said the replacement pans these guys used didn’t fit real well with the originals so replacing the full sides probably would be better.
Seems most of the bugs I find these days come with those rusty drain holes. I needed to learn how to patch them. Thank you. VW life forever.
You guys just saved me a ton of time and trouble with my '66 Baja. Thanks!
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen for replacing and fitting floor pans with body on
Glad i am not the only one who dealt with the after market Shyte" for vw's......! Good work Boyyzzz"

Bad A.. Fab work once again!!! Keep those Vids coming!!!
Hey quick question: The air tool you used to punch the holes in to the panel.. what is it called?
Pneumatic hole puncher
Joggler
Nice Job!!! Keep up the good work!
For a non welder like myself, how do you think it would work if I used the zip screws and body seam filler?
I was wondering the same myself, did you ever find an answer for this?
@@Romanlegion1990 I never have, but I think my next thing is going to be some basic welding.

Great video. Friends with vws are the best. You get too work on friends cars and you get asked when is your car done.
Our friend was surprised that he got his car back the same day...
Awesome video
Nice video guys
Awesome video. Thanks!
Very good....no namby pamby
I really enjoyed the video, you guys are hilarious.. but... why did you not just get the full pan on each side? Would have saved you work and time.
Thanks for watching! We used half pans because that's what the customer purchased...
@@garagejunkie6742 ah ok that makes sense then. Still loved the video, you guys are great.
