My new floor pans have arrived (no news on the inner rear arches) and so I have cracked on with repairs to the front offside floor. My plan was to simply remove the floor pan (carefully), clean up, then trim and drop in the new replacement section. I should know by now that things never quite go to that smoothly and sure enough after cutting away the floor I discovered a small hole in the inner sill, where the outrigger joins. A few prods later and this small hole had developed into a significant issue. The outrigger itself was also looking like it needed attention and so there was no nothing else for it, it was going to have to come off. I briefly considered buying a new outrigger and if I had uncovered this before I ordered the floor pans, I might well have done so. The corrosion was not extensive however and I was confident that I could repair it. I am also conscious that cost are getting out of hand and I need to save where I can. I removed the outrigge...
After more than 20 years lying buried and forgotten in a damp and dusty garage, my 1970 Volvo Amazon has been dragged out into the light. But will it ever play the guitar again?
