Carbon Fiber interior floor panels and underbody
Uh, carbon fibre? Blimey - wot's this all about?
EVERY spitfire had carbon fiber floors, those are just inorganic carbon fiber.
Blimey. It looks like the chassis was sandblasted and not repainted.
It's not a bad car and looks somewhat like mine, although better than mine.

Good one...
The transmission tunnels are some sort of fiber board on Spitfires. Does that count?
Hard to tell from the pics what's really going on there, but the car appears to be pretty nice. So I don't know the reason why carbon fiber was used in the floors. For rust repair on a Spit, if it's minor rust confined to the footwell area I suppose it's OK to go the epoxy resin and fiberglass cloth or mat route in a pinch (i.e. budgetary reasons). But if there's rust in the sill then that's not the way to go because that's where the body gets its structural rigidity from. In this case you can't tell. And if it was a minor rust issue confined to the footwell area then why use carbon fiber instead of epoxy resin and fiberglass cloth / mat? Strange.
Looking at the pictures, I don't think those patch panels are carbon fiber. They both look like they are metal, with the rear one bearing a striking resemblance to carefully cut aluminum baking pan.
