STEP AWAY ,from the plasma cutter ...!!!

 

Inner valance tacked in place. Chopped out the passenger a post.

 

Some more Rot. Before I chopped it off

 

Bit more crap removed. and an a post repaired

 

great work...

its gotta e the best way to do it ,
started on my front steps ,
and i think im about to follow this route ..
..

 

Id recommend it. The tub is very easy to replace and you've for a hole new section with no problems or patches!

i see you have posted a pic of you sitting there with a big horn between your legs...

[i may have been on TLB toooooo long ..}

 

Spent a day scratching my head and now finally today arch tub and passenger floor back in.

 

The floor height must surely ,also determine the arch to door gaps..

 

No as the door sits in the step recess so it doesn't really effect it

 

But the step fits.. onto the floor..

 

The tubs on mine are mint.. No patches

 

I fitted the floor to the arch rather then arch to the floor. Went perfectly

 

The same thing surely ..


Have you been drinking or suffering from plasma fumes..

 

Same thing yes but you can either fit the floor then arch or arch then floor. Obviously with the floor in place that would dictate more how the arch goes in. So arch in first. If that makes sense.

 

Can i ask where you got the arch donor cut from and how much was it?

 

eBay
they were from the US...

I paid £300 for a pair a 6 months ago..
The seller paid double that to get em here,
There are a few sellers on eBay with imports, fbi,
but the traders are quite pricey..

Look for people breaking busses,
there was one fire damaged one on eBay.. Offering cuts,

If you don't need A and B posts attatched VW arches are available ..

 

Drivers side. Gone.

 

Got to repair the b post slightly after past bodges then the tub and arch can go back in.

 

Both floors and tubs done with arches.

Now to fix these manky a post tops.
