Hi guys, Call me Mus. I'm an auto restorer from Malaysia. Currently working on this machine of one of my customers... They are normally bad and we restored to their best. So this is the t34 i'm working on.  |

He's shared some more pics with me. Remember, he's the restoration shop not the owner. It looks like a 1964 M344 (small speedo). Attachments:

yes... it's hell of work as the floor board is totally rusted. so far i'm not so sure what method should i carry up! what do you think mates? we have saved hundreds of car with bad floorboards, but this one is different in term of car construction itself. this is one of them. fully handmade floorboard via traditional way. no machines except hammers, cutters and welding set. i'm not sure if it will work the similar way on T34...  |

The metal T3 floorpans have been reproduced by a firm in Bogota, Colombia and they're available worldwide now. Called "Gerson" pan sections, there are distributors in different countries. There's an article in the #2 edition of T34 World News with photos of the pan halves (below): There's another option in finding other T3 models (Notchback, Squareback, Fastback) chassis floorpans and removing them for the T34. But I assume these models are difficult to find in Malaysia. The real issue you'll have is removing the original seat frames that are welded onto the T34 floorpans to save for the new floorpans you've welded-in. Making exact measurements for these seat rails is essential. Some taller T34 owners have chosen to move the seat rails back 3-4" and cut them down by about 0.5" to provide more headroom & legroom in the T34. Attachments:

this restoration is hold for few weeks. the owner was actually waiting for new floorboards...  upon receiving them, we're in a bit worry where to start from..! original boards were totally out so we don't have good reference points to align and put all back in its actual place. as well as the shell. it was totally off too. may be you can tell us how it should begin? anyway.... we just do it our way.... (quite hard to explain in ur language...)   we followed original weld spots. few area needed extensions while some needed to trim...  but then... please say something about floorboard reworks you might have worked your way yah! i'm learning anyway...! |
