Hi. I'm in the long process of doing rust repair on my Spider. I got a repair panel for the trunk floor in the battery area and it appears the repair panel stampings and ribs are quite different from the original. Problem is the original area is too far gone to be sure.

So, I'd sure appreciate someone posting a picture or two of a well restored or original trunk floor. Thanks very much.

Here we go: pics from a 1960 model (trunk floor is always the same).

Original (From Giuliettas.com)

And this is the Biondi's stamped trunk floor:

Try this. There are several variants of the trunk floor in Spiders. They are all very similar, the short wheel base cars have an extra rib or two.

This is one I am doing currently, Hammered into a plywood Hammer-form. My Hammer-form is based on the trunk of my rust free '62 Spider. Not a project for the meek.

Bill and Alejandro, thanks very much for the info and pictures. Just what I needed. They confirm that my purchased repair panel is wrong. The question now is where to go from here . . . looks like I'll be making my own.

I've attached a couple pics of the area in question on my car.

Thanks again.

This is my 58 750D, so I believe there are detail differences in the ribbing and where the wires come up, etc. But the basics are the same. It had a false floor brazed long ago over the original floor, which was rusty on the left side. See pics after (1) removing false floor, (2) cutting out rust and damaged LR fender, (3) new metal welded in, and (4) after grinding, sanding, and some light bondo.

I did the cutting and removal, Conrad Stevenson did the fab of the new material, welded it in, and remade the left rear fender and valance as part of the same project, in part with a rear quarter from a Giulia Spider.

This is over the course of a year, no particular hurry, and I had to slot into Conrad's schedule for the fabrication and fender work.

Thanks for the additional pics, Andrew. Interesting to see a 750 series floor.
