....cutting out shapes to weld into holes in a boot floor! :lol:

Are 850 doors a thicker gauge steel than later doors / panels? The ones I was chopping up today seemed to be.

I dunno about the doors, but 850 floors were 1.6mm.
Later floors seem thinner, and the Pommy repair panels are only 1mm.

Old PC XT cabinets are not bad for boot floor panel work either. Later ones got thinner so not as good. :lol:
