Thanks a lot guys
So, update about the pan
I finally received the last missing seat rail, so directly welded the small bracked to stop the seat on:
And welded the driver's side rails
Starting to look like a real pan:
And one "happy driver", first time I was able to seat on MY ghia's seat
But there was still some work left. First cleaning the welds/putting the bottom in primer:
And you surely noticed the missing jack points, so here we are:
Everything with welding primer:
Adjusted:
Welded:
And in primer:
Pan is now ready, waiting for it's coat of fresh paint but before, I will "use" him in order to weld the heater channel properly. So here we are, with the heater channel waiting to be fixed on it before I lift it under the body
Stay tuned

I probably already know the answer but have to ask. Are you doing 12 volt change and keeping the brakes drum?
Love your work!
