Respectfully disagree Piston. The chassis were bad agreed... but if you catch a good one with no under side rust then underseal it and look after it then all is good. The original XK8/R have their faults but they are beautiful cars. I was lucky enough to do that.

$1500 for a little hole in the floor !! We have guys who do mobile welding here in the UK on your drive who could fix that in 15 min.
You need to take off the sill trim plates (easy) and lift the carpet so they can weld the front floor pans usually from underneath. This is usually in flat plate,if you are looking for a replica of the original floor pan with all the swages then you will pay $$$$
Personally, I would epoxy a plate over that hole in the rear and go around the edge with a mastic gun in a jerky fashion to simulate a TIG weld. Underseal over and spray the underside with black wax
PS Never buy a car from me.

Love the Burghundy colour body, it looks so classy and correct. However I have to say that I am not a fan of 2 tone leather interiors for these type of cars. I just think it is an understated Gentleman's Cruiser . 2 tone leather looks good on a sports car, but on a GT.?... hmm... not so sure. Just my humble opinion. I think the leather seats would look great in just plain black IMHO 👍
