Looks the same sort of shape as mines after I'd dug out all the filler, I've gone the easy route and using the bulkhead and complete floor from a later saloon shell.

i love showing pics like this to people at work that dont have any idea about classics and restoring them.

conversation generally goes something like :-

"whats that on the floor inside?"

umm nothing, your actually looking at the ground through a big hole in the floor.

"why would anyone buy something like that?"

you dont understand please leave me alone now
