Hi All..
I've just purchased a 1981 Clubman to restore. Now I knew when I bought it,
it needed a lot of new panels and a lot of welding (mainly on the floor, in
the usual areas i.e.. the front and rear corners of the floor. So what I'm
looking at doing is to replace the whole floor with a new one, rather than
patching it up. The question I have is the floor on supposed to be one skin
thickness or is there such a thing as an outer floor (bottom) and inner
floor (inside the car)?
The reason I ask is because there has been so many botch repair jobs on my
clubman that on the front corners (near the A panels) there seems to be
about 4/5 layers of very rusted floor panels. It seems as though someone in
the past has just welded a floor repair over floor repair panel without
getting rid of the old rusted one!
Oh well back to the angle grinder...!
Cheers

It depends on how far you want to go but there is a complete floor assembly
available from Mini Machine - sorry, M Machine (bloody BMW). You could chop
out everything from the doorstep down and weld it in place as one complete
lump.
