To be fair as long as both inner sills and door steps are there you can do the floor and heel board I would say

Yes they are both in place hoody although I now need to do a half floor with inner sill on near side.

 

I wanted to get the drivers half floor finished, then do the passenger half floor with inner sill, then the heal board and finally the sills.

 

Just trying to make sure I do stuff in the right order.

Got a spare hour or so tonight to go and do some more welding.

 

Also got some cash in my ebay account after selling a few bits so planning on getting the gravitex to paint the floor when it's done.

 

Would people advise getting the underbody coating gun like this one http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1436.l2649 or can I stick it through the gravity gun with not many dramas?

.

It will go through a gravity gun if you have a 2.5 mm nozzle and will leave a smooth finish just like a primer but thicker

Hmmm.... Interesting thanks Darren, not sure what size the nozzle is on my gun but doubtful it's that big.

One step closer just need to get it turned over now and do the same on the other side.
