[QUOTE="Coda, post: 626036, member: 31747"] The reason I'm bare-metal'ing the floor - it seems that a previous owner before fitting new sheets of ply and lino decided that painting directly over rust was an acceptable thing to do. After poking around with a scraper I've found rust spreading under the original paint, and a couple places where it's more serious than just surface rust - including the B-pillar which now has a hole the size of a 20p coin where it just crumbled under the screwdriver. I wouldn't bother with it, but I've taken paint off which looked OK, only to find rust underneath. I can't trust it. Yeah I think you're right - that may be a seat-belt bolt. There was a shoulder belt extension bar thing fitted nearer to the passenger so I guess this now redundant bolt was just left where it was. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
