You guys tell me what the problem is!!!!!!!!!

Ya ok i traded my beretta off for a 1990 formula that was rusty. my main concern is the floor pans. Now you guys tell me... why is it that from like goodmark and other body panel places floor pans seem to be a decent price... even as low as 96 bucks but the ones for our cars are like a rediculous 450 bucks... man guys i need help please piont me in a direction where i can get some at a decent price.? im from NW indiana and i emailed the mark place on here and all they seem to want to sell me is a whole car... i even seen on there that they wanted 3600 dollars for a car with a blown motor wtf

Re: You guys tell me what the problem is!!!!!!!!!

you wont find new replacement floors for less than that. they cost more because the 3rd gen is not popular with restorers yet, so the demand is low. you can get doner floor patches from a junkyard car, if the floors can be patched. if the entire floor needs to go, thats a very complicated project, and honestly, it may be cheaper to find a different car.
