TR2/3/3A Boot/trunk floor

[Rubicon]

So I’m gonna have to replace the center section of the trunk floor/boot in my tr2. The cost of a new repoduction is out of my price range. So has anybody made one? How did you do the ribs in the floor?

There is a couple good videos on you tube....check Cheftush and Elin Yakov. Very good at metal working.

I’ve watched tush, never seen Elin. Both do very nice work, I must have missed it in my skimming of the videos, how did they make the pressing for the ribs?

Howdy,

Let me see if I can find a video for you from a gent called Jademuttley (peter) on YouTube. Both Elin and I used the same technique on our cars...brb.

Cheers

Here's a couple of videos that really helped me. Peter is quite the craftsman and is currently restoring a GT6.

Awesome thank you Tush, that was what I was looking for. The wife is not gonna be happy when I do that, but maybe I can do it while I’m at work. I’ll have to see. I have to make a full pan, so it will be a bit of time I guess, and noise lol

now I have more YouTube videos to watch
