Summary
Panel cost - £143 In Vat per side (£286 per car)
Imp club members get discounted prices and to put the discount into perspective your 10% discount (£28) covers the current club membership fee ! so everything else the club supplies you is gravy
Labour - 1 hour prep per panel, 30-40 minutes each panel to key with 120 grit, then acid phospate the surface
Labour - 8-10 hours per side to install (not including cutting out old floor and other section repairs.)
Consumables - 2 x 80 grit flap disc to clean of drill holes
Consumables - 100ml x zinc phoispate etch solution (water soluable)
Consumables - Mixing cups, cleaners, degreasers......
Consumables - 100ml Rust acid etch and phospate solution
Consumables - 400mL can zinc galve coating
Consumables - 30-40 Self drilling/tap flat button heads screws
The floor attachments are surprisingly few, changing rather than repairing a floor, well it makes sense as you can cut as far as you need in to get good strong metal to attach to AND you get to clean out under the seat braces which will be nasty. almost makes sense to replace ratheer than repair.
As you will see in the video, it is very easy to get out BUT make sure the shell is supported sufficiently or you will end up in really deep doo-doo and its nothing to do with it being on a jig, its common sense.
