Well I'm floored! and so's the car! 8^) (well one pan, anyway, but a good start to the welding.) My welding instructor years ago said to me " well that first one's pretty good. Do that 10,000 more times and you'll be good to go." He was right, welding takes a lot of practice to do well, but you are making great progress. Cheers!
Kelly - I've noticed that you'll do 4 or 6 perfect welds and then one bad one. Celebrate the good ones and pat yourself on the back rather than beat yourself up for the bad one. For your level of experience, you are more than fine. You are awesome 😂.
Well done getting the first floor pan in. Once it’s all in, seam sealed, protected, primered, painted, carpeted. It’ll look new. Great to see this progress taking place. 🇬🇧❤
Looks like you're making progress! If you can survive childbirth, you sure as hell can weld in some floor pans!! 😁😁😁😁Once you do the next 5 thousand spot welds you'll get the hang of it!! A few safety rules. Always wear gloves when handling sheet metal. And put that long hair under a hat. If you get your hair caught in a rotary tool it will rip your hair clean off your head! And get yourself a rag and soak it in water and keep it at hand and if something catches fire just hit it with the wet rag.
Before welding such strucktures I always use a thin coat spray zink primer (rattle can) pre welding to prevent rost apearing wenn ready. This works very good to preserve the work you do.

In Deutschland gibt es andere Maßstäbe, wenn ich so bei einer Restauration für Kunden arbeite, ist Ärger sicher ! Hir ist grundsätzlich die Karrosserie vor dem Schweißen Rostfrei und grundiert, erst dann werden Bleche angepasst und eingeschweißt die Schweißnaht geschliffen und grundiert ! Aber , andere Länder andere Sitten!
If I remember rightly, Travis said that the body shell was made from two previously damaged cars. He seemed to be pointing out where the two were joined through the sill & floor. If this is correct, then it would be necessary to join the two either across the roof [unlikely] or through the windscreen/'A' pillar area. Is there any evidence of a join in any of these areas? Also, here in Oz, we called such a joining of two, a "cut 'n' shut" & the most extreme example of that was on a workmates 1983 Datsun 120Y [B210] which was eventually made up from three body shells [2 separate crashes]

He looked and he didn’t see any! Which was kinda weird. He thinks there’s definitely something else somewhere
How much would you charge me to put left side floor panel on my car
I don’t do it for other people!
😮😮😮😂😂❤❤
Punching the holes with the air tool is the only fun part. Everything else is a pain.
You are 100% correct!
My floors were bad and needed to be replaced and it sucks... slow and seems to take forever ! how is the trunk, does it need some work ?
It seriously sucks haha. Thankfully trunk is decent 🙌🏻

I love watching others do it too!!
