I have a rusted floor pan and I need to know what I have to take out of my car to get to it...its on the drivers side. I know the seat and the carpet need to get taken out but what do I need to remove to get the carpet out?? Thanks

 

same problem but my seat bolts are seized on and the tracks are seized and my seat happens to be all the way back and no idea on how to get the back nut off or anything, let me know how you make out

 

I heard that if u pour some coca cola on a rusted bolt it will loosen up, so try that, or some good penetrating oil...my seat moves, but i think my bolts are rusted too. but i think im going to try taking it out tonight, ill make a video and post on youtube for u to see if u want. hope u can get ur seat loose

 

You'll have to remove the center console, seats, both lower seat belt mounting points for the front seat for both sides, plastic sill plates, and the kick panel trim. Its easier if you take the big trim panels off behind the door too but you probably can get it out without taking those out.

 

yeah, i have a question about the console, i removed the top part so only the console housing is left. i tried to see if anything was holding it down but couldnt find anything, but i couldnt pull it out either...is there something i am missing? what could i have missed?

 

2 bolts at the back inside ther consol, and usually one or 2 mounted verticle behind the shifter, i think im a stepahead of you in my build lol

 

I had a small felt piece covering the bolts inside the center console. Removed this and it revealed the bolts in the center console.

 

oh, i got the bolts in teh back but i cant find any visible ones, i think ill have to look a little harder tonight haha. your probably WAY farther than me, all my car has done right now is the front drivers fender is off, and i have my radio and console out, but the housing is left...STILL MUCH MORE TO DO XDD ...you should

i found it and removed the housing. its really dirty under the console hahah. now all i need to do is work on my seats

 

I have the same problem, my car lit on fire so i riped all out besides dash and counsol, What yah need to do from my perspective is loosen the wires runing along teh rockers and cover them with a strong flame resistand materisl. Remove some of the fire wall pading and insulation, cover the counsel also. Weld from the bottem so it will not leek any more. Basicly just cover anything that will be hit by sparks or heat and weld from bottom. Make nice even cuts from the rust just about an inch back from the good steel. Cut the patch evenly in the direct shap and make sure it fits tight, the tighter the fit the less gaping you have to do with the welds. Use a mig with gas not flux core. Tack it in, than stich it in, than compleat the weld. coat it with some primer and than an under coat. For the top you can weld it in but more risk of fire, or you can use some calking seelent that is of good grade and will last a while and is resistant to weather. the selant also works for any loose drain plugs. Ive been training with body work and am talented with welding, these are the steps im takeing for my car, and I have had expert welders give me tips and tell me how to do it specificly. Good luck and always keep a fire extingrusher on hand.
