Doing something dumb... replacing floor in vert...

Any links to floor pan suppliers you guys have used? It's a 1989. My friends are telling me to dump it, but I want to keep it on the road!

How bad is it? I'm not sure if the convertibles have the same floor as the coupes, but RockAuto.com has replacement floor panels as well as Classic Industries if I'm not mistaken.

That's pretty bad, but worse has been fixed before.I wouldn't pay anyone to do it, but if you've got the skills and the time it may be worth it for you. I'd remove all of the carpet first and see how bad it is on the whole car.

A floor pan from a donor may be your best option. Google Franks Pontiac Parts. They've got complete floor sections right now and are less than what you would pay for a pair of aftermarket pans.

Hows the paint?

Floor pans are not bad to do. If it's rain damage from the top down, and not rot from the bottom up it's ok.

I used to do a lot of floor pans on t-top cars in the 90s.
