Default The floorpan

I'm going quite slowly on my build (but steady!!) I have the sides and bulkheads all neatly riveted and glued and now its the turn of the floor. The manual (and Mark) suggests that you rivnut the floor and then remove it for later fitting. I'm a bit worried cos (a) I dont have a hoist so I dont see how I can fit the floor at the end without mucho struggling (screwdriver in one hand, bolts in another floor pan in a third all while lying on my back) and (b) if its not sealed the car will leak in minimal moist conditions and (c) it should be stiffer if its properly riveted and glued.

What has everyone lese done and whaddya think?
