Things are still going strong in the planning department but it’s all coming together quite well for the Magical Mystery Mini Tour September 5-7, 2008...
Summer is just around the corner and that means it's time to mark your calendars to join us for our 7th Annual Nevada City Adventure Open House, Saturday May 17th, 8am to 4pm. Some of the events planned include a swap meet, car show, prizes, and of course, great deals on the latest and coolest merchandise! Also this year we will be featuring the first ever Vtec Encounter.
Yes cheaper and simple but non deserving to a genuine mkI shell, I wish I was not taken with the foolish advise I was given. Oh well live and learn and pay as you go but I know someone can use is it.
Why not use what you have by splitting it down to L & R floors and keep your remote center tunnel in place? Gotta be easier/cheaper than selling the floor at a loss, shipping it and then buying L&R full sections and shipping them???
Make it idiot proof, and someone will make a better
idiot....
I purchased the left and right entire floors with the inner and outer sills attached for my 1071. Buying the floor panels this way I was able to keep the center tunnel in place.
Be sure to weld cross supports in the door openings to keep the body from twisting before you remove the floor. With a plasma cutter the rotten floor and sill were out in no time at all. I attached a light section of angle bar to left and right edge of the tunnel and used this as an edge to run the plasma cutter along to get a straight cut.
Not sure who would tell you it was the "preferred" way to restore a Mk I shell. It's not correct for a Mk II or early Mk III, either. Can be made to work, but not the same as "restored." Unfortunately, you received bad advice. That is clearly a floor for a rod change car.
I was told that this is the preferred way to restore a MKI floor but I was mis-informed. It truly would be the way for some later mini but my MKI 1071 needs done right. The main difference is the tunnel around the shift boot and the front section of the floor are a bit different. Yea it would work with getting creative. But not for me. List for 399.95 if you need it make me an offer. thanks
