Nice progress, you must be bored stiff of the grinding that comes with all this welding!

question:
i have the two floors as you have done, i plan to do the same as you, cut out the rot and put the new panels in where the rot was cut out... i noticed you had some surface rust on the parts of the floor you didnt cut out... how have you cleaned them up before painting in red oxide? simply used a flap disk or a wire brush?
also... the repair to the shock mount... i need to do this on the mk2... some detail on how you do it would be great!! if you would be so kind!
thanks!
Ed

To cleanup the floor I use a paint removing pad on a drill like this

I'm away this weekend but when I do the shock mount, I'll take some extra pics of the steps

Repairing the damper mount
Carefully remove the outer skin
As you can see the inner skin only needed a clean
Its then painted internally and allow to dry whilst I make up the repair piece. This is then painted on the backside and welded into place remembering to redo the spot welds to the inner skin
Grind it back, paint and your done
I also made a start on the inner wing repairs

Awesome work, as always. Looking forward to your pics of the upcoming inner wing repair - i'm just doing the exact same part on mine and i'll be interested to see how yours turns out as I always get a lot of tips from studying your work

Daveeeeee, I hope I'm not welding to rust lol
Started work on the A post and as no panels are available to buy I'm having to make the repairs panels up
First job is to make a big hole
Then templates, note I'm joining the repairs in line with the dash cross member so its hidden from inside
First part made and welded into place
These 4 parts are also required to help fill in the hole
And to repair this

WOW 
Your work is five star.
Do you use card to mark out all your panels.
i have a lot of repair work to do when i get back on with it and am wondering how you get your panels to fit so well.
do you just cut out the rust, offer up the pannel, mark it and grind it. or do you have some other method.
sorry to ask questions
i'm going to cut a large part of my floor out and am Cr**ing it that i will cut my repair pannel to small.
i wish you would slow down a little.

Small repair panels are easy to make out of card, larger ones like the floor are best done by cutting roughly to size and then trimming down a bit at a time until they fit close enough to be able to mark up to do the final cut.
Measure twice cut once
