The 87 325is track car had some rust forming in the floorboard. I went to jack up the car from the square lift point, which then went up into the carpet. So began the surgery:
Obviously, this is far from professional, and was done in the spare time I have between full time work and school, to get a track car ready for the season. So don't bust my balls too bad
- Cut nice big square area out of floor
- Cut similar square, but ~1" bigger in all directions, out of parts car (89 325i)
- Clean all the undercoating and paint from area
- Discover rust in replacement panel (DOH!!!)
- Clean away rust, find a 1" hole left over
- Weld new metal into replacement panel
- Weld panel into car (from underneath, so it overlaps)
- Grind welds, seal it (used body filler)
- Spray undercoating
- Spray duplicolor red on inside, which is pretty close to zinno (close enough for a track car, anyway)
