Abstract

A motor vehicle construction which includes at least one vehicle body part such as a floor panel mounted on a vehicle frame by an insert. The body part is only affixed to the vehicle frame so that a connection between the vehicle frame and body part exists by way of the insert. The construction is assembled by applying a layer of a mixture consisting essentially of an adhesive material and an elastic filler to the attaching surface of the frame. The body part is placed upon the layer of the mixture and, if necessary, joints between adjacent body parts are filled with the mixture. The mixture is hardened to form the insert.
