Floor panelI’m driving an E30 1984 CBU 4 doors model. Every time when I drive in the rain, my carpets will be soaking wet and this happened only at the drivers side. During the CNY I’ve decided to fix this annoying problem and went over to see a friend who can get it rectified. Initially, my plan was to just fix at that particular spot, however after being persuaded by him I end up removing the whole carpet and seats. To my supprised, the whole 4 flooring is rusted and waiting to fall apart. He cut off all the flooring and welded new one putting layer of antirust and tar/bitumen to prevent it from future rust (But I feel it will still be infected in a matter of time). I’m very happy with his job and it only cost RM 200 so RM50 for each side. Gave him extra though.

Elaborate? sure. Well u explained how u the treatment was executed but I don't kno whether u addressed the root of the problem - water was getting in from from somewher & sensibly one should first identify & attend these source b4 treating what's damaged otherwise the flooding & soaking will recur! :dunno:
