I see E34/E32 gearbox (Getrag 260) in, so they need also to transfer the speed from rear diff or any other way into the speed.

Wow, I just can't get over that floor work. I am in the midst of working the WN replacement panels (which is what this seller used). It takes a fair amount of metalwork and shaping to massage the panels into the factory configuration, including rolling the continuation of floor beads in from the rear panel and stamping the plug dimples in. Evidently this team just decided to lay the front panels flat like an old road sign and just lap weld them in. I don't even know how they let the foot well interact with the frame rail. Caulk?

You should use TloczniaBlach one... it is much better as far as I heard of from others.

Thanks Krzystof,
I did look at those. There is a benefit to them being made all in one panel, and as a result having the ribs completed and a few of the other stampings. That said, they are not a perfect match to the factor floors either, and my ship has already sailed with the WN panels that I've invested so much time in. I'd love to find out someone that has used these panels to learn the fitment. No body seems to shape the very front and inside corners correctly. That always has to be shop worked.

I was told they will be even more improved by TB this year to have perfect match.
