Ideas on what should i do??
« on: July 29, 2007, 13:47:35 »
Well the disco is getting quite rotten in various areas.

So do i:
- Bobtail it
- Tray back it
- Get rid of it and get a V8 RRC on gas


Also how easy would it be to bobtail it? My Bro-in-law loves welding so that bits not a problem.

Just took the rest of the boot apart and here are a few pics.

i have faintly highlighted the actual holes they blend in quite well actually and cant really see them.

rip out a floor from another scrapper, only not just the floor pan, cut it out around 2 inches up the sides all round and trim to fit the whole lot in, a tight fit in one piece, but can be done, did one myself earlier this year, still needed a couple of patches to bridge bad buts, but as its sealed in afterwards and covered with the trim, no probs

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40
