It has been just way to hot to be in the garage the past few days so little has gotten done. The body has been all sanded, and I am going to have a body guy I know do the prep before paint. I am hoping he can get to it by the weekend. I just ordered the wiring harness and seat sliders but have yet to cut out the rails on the new pan. Thats about all I have to report

Full of dumb questions today. Do these sliders just bolt to the floor pan? I am going to be using the stock GT1 seats

And this is easier to do with the pans out of the car. Looks like you still have the stock seat rails on the pans. You'll likely need to remove them to install seats that will work with the Bradley. Regards.... The pans are not installed yet. They are just fitted. I am going to remove the rails

Also while I am thinking about it. I am going to replace the old tired Monza exhaust that is on it and wanted a few recommendations. I frequently hear a 4-1 has better performance. What I do not want is something that is going to stick out the rear of the car a foot like the monza does

Well the pans are ready to be welded in. I just ended up taking the brace off. It was not all that difficult. No another question I have. What is everyone using to secure the rear engine cover. I see where there was some sort of brace at some time and I am guessing it had hood pins on it but they were not with the car.

When you post here it really helps to provide your location as well as what you are asking for it.

Thanks Steve. I am going to take a better look at it tomorrow. I have had events all weekend and not a minute to even open the garage.
My goal is to get paint on the car by the weekend.

Can we take them around the track? ;D Well the idea is to have an Autocross course set up and have a contest to see who gets the best time.

I am 5-7 but I will get rid of them. Is there a generic seat rail of some kind I can use to mount the seats.

Do they just sit to high for the seats or something?

Buy the pans FIRST then cut the old ones out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get the pans w/o the seat bracket, or you will have to cut them out also. I already bought the pans locally and they had the seat bracket . why do they need to be cut out?

Post by kitcarguy on Aug 4, 2011 7:49:35 GMT -5
So this should come off with an air chisel as well?

Post by kitcarguy on Aug 3, 2011 21:48:30 GMT -5
Ok now this might be a dumb question. I decided to just buy a set of pans locally instead of having them made. I have the old one out except for one section. Here is a photo (not mine) to illustrate For some reason I thought it was not a part of the pan, but it is on the new pans. Do I remove this as I did the rest of the pan?

It turned out great man. I only hope my little project turns out half as nice.

So what is the "easiest" method for removing the old pans? Sawsall or a cutoff tool of some kind?

Post by kitcarguy on Aug 1, 2011 9:55:18 GMT -5
Thats a good looking pan. Even a cheap set of pans with shipping is over $300. No doubt I can get the steel and have my guy weld it up for cheaper than that.

I am not at all worried about heater channels being in Florida. I have someone who would weld in the pans maybe he can just make them. The seats are just the "stock" bradley seats that I planned on using

Well I had some time to really go over the floor pans and once I got under all the tar and glass then had on them I discovered they are wrecked. I am going to have to order a set. Anyone have a suggestion on a decent set?

Thanks for the insightful post Dan. This is what I love about this place. I love to save money like the next person but I also do not need a motor falling off while driving..hahaha
Hey let me ask you. Is there a repair manual you prefer over the others for the 1600cc engine? I really would like to pick on up. I have owned several VWs over the years but this one is the only one I decided to get my hands (or gloves) dirty with
Thanks

Yeah I figured there was nothing wrong with putting down a truck bed liner of some kind. I just did not know if there was maybe a rubber mat type material made for a vw buggy application or something.

Hey Everyone,
I am curious what you guys have used for flooring in the past? I do not want to put carpet in my build because I have no plans on getting the gullwings and we have pretty wet weather in Florida this time of year.
I was thinking of some kind of rubber material or a line-x type product but I wanted to get some opinions.
Thanks Donnie
