No way on earth I'm answering that question... depends entirely on who you are and what you know ;-)

Avarage time for the job?

Depends a lot on how bad things are.  If it's just the floor, then a couple of days should let you do the job properly... if you end up having to fabricate bits or start replacing the struts under the floor, the time will clock up :-)

Any tips on tools i might not have thought of?

A good welder, plenty of cutting and grinding discs, a chisel, hammer, hacksaw, plenty of MIG wire, wire brush, body sealer, paint.

Take your time, it can be a pig of a job, if it's rusty... replace it  ;-)

Looks interesting!?!
Gonna have a go at it myself soon (need warmer weather, longer days)
A friend of mine has done his but he rivited it in place. Sounded strange!
Worst thing is i'm gonna remove the 2 lpg tanks and the 25 ltr petrol tank and put back the original fuel tank and replace the 2 lpg tanks (40ltr each) for a 90ltr tank and fit it in the boot (you'll see why i the pic, petrol tank underneth off side rear). Then fit a fuel tank guard and scorpion rear bumper!!!! The car is gonna be of the road for a couple of weekends and not in the muddy sense!!!!!!
I'll keep you all posted :D

I have a cross member for under the rear floor if anyone needs one. I didn't use it on mine as we had 5mm plate instead.

I have the same prob, no way am I fitting a fuel tank in that wing, if I don't hit it, some t**t will, I would like to find someone who can remake a stock fuel tank half the size so I can squeeze a 36l tank in with it (I have a tank guard) then I won't loose quite so much boot, I'm going for an upright doughnut in the spare wheel well (might be remaking the floor to fit).

Talk to Andy @ Allisport.. he'll do you a custom tank.  I have a secondary tank under the rear floor of Tigger, nicely done.

It seems great minds think alike!  Mines been a VERYDISCO since i got it!  I do feel a bit daft about my user name now though.  :oops:

It took two days to replace my floor. I got the new one out of a scrap yard, I needed the base of the wheel arches too, so a brand new floor would not have been any good.
