nikhilkamdar12 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Basically re-shelling into a 96 spec shell but the floor pan on both sides (where the seats go) are bent/sagging down considerately! I have my 99 shell here with a perfect floor, shall I cut out the damaged part and get it properly welded in? Any help on this would be appreciated as its holding my build back CheersNik. Quote
Zeldoz Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Did you drop that last shot of nitrous and nearly blow the welds on the intake mani? Quote
Matt1878 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Did you drop that last shot of nitrous and nearly blow the welds on the intake mani?Haha!! 'Warning, danger to manifold...Floor pan falls out!! Awesome! Quote
Nick85 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Haha!! 'Warning, danger to manifold...Floor pan falls out!! Awesome!Hahaha that has alway baffled me Quote
Gainzy Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Put some pics up..I don't under how they are sagging down, no way to heat shrink the area and bash the sags up? Would use cutting as a last resort Quote
nikhilkamdar12 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 Looool fast and furious hahaa, I'll upload some inna bit when I get some time. I don't have a clue how it has happened? It's even on both sides :/ I'll get some pics up thoo Quote
nikhilkamdar12 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 Any help on ways to get this flat??? CheersNik. Quote
daniel_g Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Has someone smashed it down to have a lower seating position ? Lol. Quote
nikhilkamdar12 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Loool maybe? Haha who knows must of taken some force as it's solid! But I don't understand how it can be even on exactly both sides? Just need this fixed mann Edited March 15, 2014 by nikhilkamdar12 Quote
nikhilkamdar12 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 And I need this flat as I'm running meisters and it is loww, so atm it would scrape the floor crazy Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 wow that is bad that shell may have been in a major crash Quote
Nick85 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 wow that is bad that shell may have been in a major crashThat was my thoughts but god knows!!! Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 bit gutting if goin from a crashed shell to a crashed repaired shell Quote
nikhilkamdar12 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 Nahh hasn't been crashed. There is no other evidence of anything out of place . everything lines up perfect on it. Plus it's even exactly on each side, plus the guy I got it from was gonna rebuild the entire thing and painted the entire engine bay and interior. So I don't think it's been in a crash but it needs to be fixed defoo Quote
nikhilkamdar12 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 No damage to the front or rear of the car either all straight?! Quote
Ryan-11 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) easy enough to fix, get someone on the inside to hold a block of wood against the floor while you smack the outside with a hammer, continue to do this till its all flat then underseal, job done! Edited March 15, 2014 by Ryan-11 Quote
nikhilkamdar12 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 Cheers mate was thinking of hammering all back straight again, I'll try on Monday and let you guys know Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Surely if you hammer back it will be weaker Quote
nikhilkamdar12 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 Bit of wood and a jack I'll try that Quote
JDMfreak Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 that doesn't look good looks like the chassis channels are bent I think you may go find another shell don't think that going to pass an mot even if you jack it back up into place Quote
nikhilkamdar12 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 Don't sound good man what if I get a new floor put in there? Quote
nikhilkamdar12 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 Last resort may have to cut out my good 99 spec floor pan and get it welded professionally in? Quote
