Marcello,
The Oz cars were thicker floor than UK ones, helped stop the rocks and gravel coming thru the floor... :lol:
In UK, by the time their 1.0mm floor is past it, so is the rest of the car... :wink:

makes sense...

so... to understand the rest.... even if i was to buy the whole "new" floor, there is only a 50/50 chance of it actually matching up to the rest of the car...

Would it be possible to get one big piece of sheet metal (flat) and just weld the top of the car onto that... :?
