i found a nightmare

i ripped up my carpet in hopes of putting in a new one...

however, my driverside floor pan in front of the drivers seat is rotted/rusted all the way up behind the pedals. how much would it cost a body shop to do it?

dunno about the labor, but the floor pan is 200 bucks a side from Classic Industries.

Hey man Id suggest getting some sheet metal and just welding it in yourself. Alot cheaper then buying the whole damn floor pan. Cut it out of a yard and weld it in.

sounds like a cool home project if you have some basic skills and a place to do the work. after all it is under the carpet and wonlt show any fudge ups know what i mean.

is the rust throug the floor pan or just surface? i am assuming through.

POR-15 is great for coating the rusty spots that havent eaten right through the floor yet.

Ok, not trying to site plug here, but I just went through this, in fact there's a thread on it if you search. I bought replacement pans, made the job sooooo much easier than fabbing up the panels. You can see what I went through at my cardomain site if you want.

Once again, not trying to site plug.
