Spent more time today on the interior.
Speaking to SIMJIM I decided to lower the floor pans thus lowering the drivers seat.

The before shots





If you look closely you will see the drivers foot well is lower than the passengers foot well even though the seats bases are the same.





The pans where cut out and the thin seat supports remove to be replaced with some 50x20x3 box section.
Up until now I have only been working on GTE's and I was surprised just how thin the floor on this SS1 was compared the GTE's floor.



These where welded into place



I remade the floor pans from 12mm ply which was covered in 300g fibergalss matting.


After fitting the new flooring I laminated around it again with 300g matting.



Both pans where now the same height and level with the bottom of the sills lowering the seats by about 4".
Now the floor pans are lowered the exhaust needs to be reworked as it originally ran under the passenger floor.

I am hopping this is the last major modification job I have to do, apart from re-trimming and re-fitting the bonnet that is
