So...
A small step towards finalising the rear floor on the wagon.
I had the boot floor cut out of the donor M5.

It will now be cleaned and separated into its component panels before we cut the floor on the touring.

A bit of progress on the touring.
Although we cut the floor from the sedan I was not entirely sure that the thickness of metal used in the sedan would be sufficient for the touring so I acquired 1.2mm steel to cut a new floor from.

A few pics of the new floor in place although not welded in yet.

 

[Peter@AEW]

The chassis legs will be separated on the spot welds and the new floor sandwiched between them as per original bonding manner

 

[Benji]

That is a lot of work that goes into the floor, didn't realise the boot slam panel also needs to be removed. Good progress

excuse my ignorance Peter. Was the floor cut for exhaust/fuel tank reasons?

 

[individj]

or is there a different length to the diff and you want to use M5 prop etc stock.

 

[Peter@AEW]

excuse my ignorance Peter. Was the floor cut for exhaust/fuel tank reasons?

It was cut and modified to accommodate the right rear silencer as well as the battery.
Normal e39 cars have a spare wheel and battery location on right rear.
M5 uses a flat floor and the battery is located in a tub center of the boot.
