Get some rare spares panels , and make sure you clean the welds after and paint them with a durable paint or underbody spray

Cmon, fiberglass? Weld it and do it properly. Get on old bonnet and cut the sheet from that - cheap $$$.

more work than I hoped but saveable and result should be worth it if done well, will likely weld in steel half cage and Club permit register

I had and have no intentions of fibreglassing the floor. I was and will only plate it. I was talking about the hole in the boot I was going to fibreglass. This will give my son the experience of welding as I said fibreglass as I said and then any tiny holes bogging. Why would I fibreglass the floor it has no strength to it and I wouldn't ever do it on a floor.

I'd recommend the rare spares panels, I made a roll pan for my coupe from scratch and made all the other Panels after trying to buy second hand and they were just as bad as what was on the car. Just grind all the rust off weld New panels in, spray it all with rust converter, etch prime it and hit it with c guard out of a Shultz gun no one will see if your welds are bird s*#t because it builds 3mm thick rippled finish. I have just finished doing my interior after stripping all the original deadner and rust il update my build thread
Coupe rebuild number 6..

If this car had "Sherrif", "Sherriff", or "Sheriff" written on it, it would be a goer.
