Kate,
Thanks, and sorry for the delay in my response. The sentimental value is
good for at least a quarter of the purchase price. So can you elaborate on
this mythical Two Gun Clarici, and his fly by night floor repairs? I have
long planned a from scratch "Locost" build, but I am at a loss as to how to
work on this area with out having the car crack in half or stay off the road
until we see a viable third party. Does this method involve a rotisserie?
Do I need to remove the gas tank, or just drink extra beer?
Andrew

You guys, like most men, are forgetting that this car has sentimental
value. If I could find my first MG, other than a few nuts and bolts
that are probably still somewhere on the hill I splattered her on, I
would do everything in my power to restore her.
If I remember my ancient history correctly, Two Gun Clarici knows how to
make floor panels from sheet metal. Installation is not that big a
deal. I can even do it, and I have no nerves in most of my fingers.
Sanding and some Ospho will take care of any surface rust, and what is
underneath doesn't need to have a pretty repair, just functional. Any
oopsies can be covered by 3M Undercoating, which will also protect the
undercarriage until the normal covering of oil takes over..
Instead of recommending a steering wheel and VIN transplant, let's help
the poor schmuck fix the car he has finally reconnected with.
Kate
