Re: [T3] Should I buy this T3?

Not entirly true , ask some of the KG III guys, if the floor is rusted thru
(like my 343) then get some steel sheet (I used a subaru hood) stailess
would be good but is hard to shape/braze . Make a template of your floor and
cut out of sheet metal leaving pieces of 3-4cm to be bent uowards at 90deg.
Fit tightly in from the top , so that putting weight on the sheet press'
down and better into place. I filled between original and sheet with
silicon, press into place ,braze( rather than weld) and after cooling seal
from top with silicon. Finish by painting Hammerite or any good
anti-corrosive on. Don't forget to fill holes from bottom with putty and
paint over with undercarrige paint. I underneath and behind both seats and
under one side of back seat, so far ,fine.

If you want it enough NOTHING is impossible to salvage.

These vary from hard to impossible. If the windshield has been
missing for a long time,à|gas collected on the floor, rusted
through, and the car is shot.
