Floor pan modifications

6th October 2012
Prior to painting the chassis, i wanted to get all of the mods to the floor completed.  These included:

1. Fit original seat frames.
2. Fit seat frame mods to accept 1970 porsche seats.
3. Add brackets and holes for RHD pedal conversion.
4. Cut seat belt points from old pans and fit to new.

 Seat frames added, cleaned up with a coat of zinc.

RHD pedal cluster refurbished and trial fitted.




Seats trial fitted.














No delaying the next job, cleam off the black paint from the pan halves ready for paint.






6hrs of grinding later, the floor pan halves are bare metal on one side.  I decided to zinc coat the pan, seam seal and then 3 coats of  black (smooth) hammerite on the inside pan halves.
For all chassis parts exposed to outside, I wanted to try a KBS coating system consisting of a degreaser, rust converter and the paint in silver.

The end result:
