P1800 Boot floor help needed
Does anyone know if it is possible just to buy a new floor for the boot section only of a 1963 P1800s? From what I can find it seems you can only buy the whole of the rear section from the gear box backwards, and not just the part I need. Any clues from anyone as to what I should be doing about replacing the boot floor?

Thank you, but I can't find a part that states it is the floor of the boot!
Should I make one up? |

I guess it depends on how badly yours is gone. Also, being a 1963, it could either be a Jensen car(P1800) or a Swedish one (1800S). It seems the floors are totally different on them.
My '63 (Jensen) had a bit of rust in the boot, and just cutting out and replacing metal seemed to work ok. There are some annoying curves up by the wheel arches, but nothing that a big hammer and a lot of noise cant sort out. It all gets covered with anti-ressonance mat anyway, so you cant even see the welds. |

Thanks Asneddon. If does seem as if I will need to repair mine. I am surprised that I cannot find a replacement boot floor anywhere!

You tried Brookhouse?
