1974 VW Bus  Floor rusted from the inside out due to some rust holes around the sunroof.


New floors from the Bus Depot. Not too bad of a fit.  Holes had to be drilled where it was to be welded, over 500 holes!!!


A bit of seam sealer and some paint and it will be as good as new.  All sanded & ready for primer.

Here's a common rust area.  Cut out the rust, and the battery tray... another common rust area.


Weld new metal to inner frame.  Grind down.

Grind down smooth.  Only needs a little fill to smooth things out.

Yikes!!!  Weld in piece from donor bus


I was gonna replace the hole corner, but decided to just replace what was needed.  Weld just a little at a time to prevent warping.
