Re: [T3] floor pan removal

["Collison" <vwguru@home.com>]

below is exactly what I meant, I dug and found many of the spot welds...I
think I will sawzall the old pans out leaving an inch or two near the
tunnel, then just drill and pry the little bit left off, leaving me a nice
new welding area. I am used to the vw vans, which are quite different...

Sorry if I posed a cloudy question....

I heard that Ghia floors will fit a type3 with a little 'fondling'....is
this true?
