Hi all Just got a 72 regular beetle and am evaluating what needs to be done.
It will need floors, heater channels and one of the door post bottoms will need to be reconstructed. The engine/tranny is in very good shape.
Along the tunnel a lip exists that one normally welds the floor pans to. On mine, there's a gap between this lip and the tunnel. Is this lip part of a plate that's welded along the bottom of the tunnel? Or is it something welded along the edge of the tunnel?
It looks like a plate, but can't tell until I get under the car and haven't done that yet. Could I "just" (after taking the body off, that is) flip the frame and weld a new bottom plate back on?
Thanks! Remco
