Thread: d/s footwell repair in Series 3

Hi all,

I am currently restoring my 77 Series 3 swb and I have to do some welding on the d/s footwell, nothing too big but it's necessary.

Anyway, rather than patching the holes I would prefer to take out the whole footwell and replace it with a repair panel (they seem to be around $60 or so).

My question is how complicated is that with the firewall still in the car? I took the front guards off and the access seems to be ok...but are there any nasty surprises I should know about?

Thanks,

Thomas

I looked at doing it and there are a hell of alot of spot welds and sikaflex style glue which looked very hard so I just cut the section out and welded it in
Only took an hour or so.

You would need to take the guards off for sure.

Dave.
