Help required with a vitara

[mill2020]

Like the title says, i've just recently bought a vit and began the strip down 2day ready for some mods and after rippin out the back seats and carpet i found some holes in the boot floor and inner arches around the seat belt mounts

So my question is does anyone know where to get hold of a new boot floor and arches?

has anyone had any experience with doing this or am i just better off cuttin out the crappy bits and weldin in new bits?

Would really be grateful for some good old zuki wisdom

Cheers Phil.

Hi Phil

Had the same problem with mine nearside only though.

We cut all the rotten metal out including seatbelt anchorage point and totally replaced it with new steel passed an mot no probs..

Offside you might have to drop the petrol tank i think fuel filler runs down on the inner wing somewhere..

There is also some little splash guards on the inner wings both sides i chopped mine off they just hide the crap behind them..

Cheers Gav

rabbit was showing signs of rust around the seat belt mounts that we just took the seats out and made a new bulk head... so now shes a little tuck :) and i have a boot!

Take the rear seats and b elts out, then see what the MOT man says!

phil i dont think you can buy replacement body panels for the inside, but i could be wrong. ask the main dealer and see what they say.

personally i would cut the rust out and patch it up, thats what i did on mine.

phil, what happened to the sportrak?

what happened to the sportrak?

Some ******** drove into the back of me at the traffic lights, and the insurance company wrote it off :(

Although i'm not too gutted as they paid out a lot more than i paid for it :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
