The underside of the wheelarches have been cleaned up to in preparation for the modifications (front sections are being cut and moved out closer the wing panels to increase floor width by 5″ each side).
The pic shows the new materials (£240 worth!). The floor and wheel arch panels are 3mm marine grade aluminium. The box section tubing is for the longitudinal floor stiffeners, and is 1.5mm stainless steel (to be attached to the floor with Tiger Seal, which acts as an incredibly strong adhesive and electrical isolator, preventing any electrolytic corrosion), so the floor materials are not only stiffer and tougher than the original, but 100% thicker too. This tub, like the rest of the vehicle is being built to last.
