[Spridgets] Hi, I'm new. Please help me and my '76

[Andrew Payne]

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.
