Before you begin tearing down your project Beetle, be sure to invest into some Zip Lock bags. They are an invaluable way of keeping track of your parts. Also took a closer look at the floor pans when I got home from work tonight. These shoddy welds confirm my suspicions that the floor pans had been replaced some time in the past. As I get further into the tear down, I’ll need to decide to replace them again with new ones or salvage the existing pans. They really are in good shape and I’d like to keep them, but once the body is off the pan, I’ll decide if the installation of the current pans are up to par. If not, I’d be crazy not to go ahead and install new pans.
