Floorpan and Rear Bumper Area - What Thickness of Metal?

Forum: 

Folks,

I've finally started some pre-welding preparation for my F78.

Behind the bumpers is a pressed steel non-structural cross-member, a kind of rear sill. I'm struggling to get a decent micrometer thickness measurement on this through one of the holes. Is it normally 1mm or 1.5mm?

Similarly, is the load bay and floor pan the same gauge?

Terios 2 Fuel Consumption

Forum: 

Don't normally worry about fuel consumption as I don't do much mileage and over here in Lanzarote petrol is still quite cheap. However because it's gone up from €1.04 to €1.13 per litre (£0.92/litre) over the last few weeks I decided to check my consumption over the last three tank fills, a distance of approximately 1,000 km. I was taken aback to find that I was only averaging 24 mpg which is, much to my surprise exactly in accordance with the on-board display - I had not previously believed the on-board calculation because it was so poor.

FOURTRACK TDX 91

Forum: 

I HAVE A 91 FOURTRACK ESTATE IN MINT CONDITION WITH JUST OVER 2000 MILES ON THE CLOCK, IT'S IN RED & SILVER WITH A FEW BITS OF RUST ON THE NUTS BUT THAT'S IT. I BELIEVE THIS WOULD BE IDEAL FOR A COLLECTOR BUT HAVE NO IDEA AT THIS TIME WHAT THE VALUE WOULD BE. IT'S WAY TO GOOD TO GIVE AWAY FOR A FEW GRAND. IM ALSO TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS ANY SHOWS I COULD TAKE IT TO NEXT YEAR TO GENERATE SOME INTEREST. I WILL GET PICTURES TO FOLLOW WHEN WEATHER IS BETTER, BUT IF ANYBODY CAN GIVE ME ANY ADVICE I'D BE MUCH APRICHATED.

THANKS PAUL
