Please use safety glasses. I've seen the damage that can be caused to skin when grinding or cutting let alone eyes. If you're unfortunate enough to have a disc break up the results can be catastrophic.

always wear them under cars as rust flakes and dirt are pretty unpleasant at best if it gets in your eyes.

If you're just replacing the floors you won't need that many discs but you'll find a cup wire brush for your grinder really useful for cleaning the crud off, plus a litre of red oxide paint for when you're finished welding.

You've already discovered that a Hustler is about 3 or 4 inches longer than most short buggies so if you find out that a new body (£1200 ish in nice shiney coloured gel coat) will work out cheaper than restoring and painting your old one (often the case) then the swb Jas body is the same length.

Yes lost about £90 returning them floor pans so learnt the hard way 😔
It's only bonnet that is really bad so might just get that done, but not decided yet. I'm definitely set on keeping the body, even if costs more to restore, but thanks for saying, guy I got engine from had a new one at his work shop, it did look very 👍🏻

I did have bits falling down when I cut bolts off holding body down, I have some glasses so will use them 👍🏻

This is spot on. If the disc is not vertical to the cut it catches, breaks away and particles all over at very high speed
