I did the silly thing today of looking under my boot und look what I found

I went to Safari engineering today and have been quoted about £400 if they do the whole job or £100 if I do all the cleanin gup and remove the old floor etc and then for them to put another floor in and weld it. So an hours work for welding and £45 for a floor. Damn.

The rubber sound proof matting was soaking so what I have done it put some plastic on the floor and then the rubber mat ontop so hopefully any more water that comes up will hit the plastic and go back down and wont just sit in the foam and rust it away anymore. I know it wont stop it but it will hopefully slow the process down.

How easy / what is involved in removing the old floor?

muddyjames:
and why didnt those images come out?

muddyjames:
photos are in my profile.

If you look on Darrens site you'll see that if you are doing all the preparing work, then an extra hour by you and you could just pop-rivet a new floor into place ;)

Ive read that page about 5 times now and I must say it does look do able for my small knowledge.

I dont have half the tools but it would save some money in the long run.

I am sure I might be able to get a mud clubber to help for an exchange of food and drink etc.

How do I know if the wheel arches are gone and if they have what is the next scariest part? How easy is a wheel arch to replace? This could all get so nasty.
