well 5 oh resto sells floor pans for 80 bucks. that may help ur situation. ummmmm getting it installed is another issue. but if u can do it urself, its an easy fix. how much did u pay for it?

Hamutoff

could you please point me to their $80 offering? I went to their site and found them, but for $124.95(plus oversized shipping of course)... I paid too much for a car with this damage for sure.

sorry man. it wasn't 5 oh resto then. i know i saw it in one of my 5.0 mustang mags. i did find them on ebay though, 85.00 45.00 shipping from cj pony parts. brand new floor pans. ive dealt with them b4. good people. just type in mustang floor pan in the search. sorry again.[sm=boosign.gif]

he didnt call back ... yet
I called once more 10 minutes ago it rang to message but I didnt leave one
I figure monday afternoon if he will not respond, I will persue any actions availavble to me legally..... hmmmmm

$$$$$$$$$$$$ anyone have a estimate guess? ITs gotta be about $1k to drop the car off at a shop and say "FIX THIS DUDE"

what do you think? HOw much ca$h does this take to complete

mjr46

my guess is based on my past experience with floor pan issues...between removing that side of the carpet and interior..cut out the damaged section..prep surfaces to weld on then flange the edges with a special tool I have so I can lay the panel in flush then weld it in , then seam seal it and then undercoat all and reassemble.....my guess is around 6 hours total......so if I were doing it and you supplied the floor pan my guess is 500 to 700 rough guess which would include all welding supplies needed and undercoat and seam sealer......but professional body shops may want more to make it worth their while

1k still makes it worth it. i mean clean 5.0 coupes arent exactly a dime a dozen nowadays

Hamutoff

yup..... wish mine was clean, huh!
no but really been looking on and off for a few years after I sold my 1987 CHP coupe.... phppt!! even IT didnt have this problem!!!

what do you guys think caused this? super fat dude? that would explain the sagging and cracking, but what about the pulling away from the body?? it does it look like hammer or jack or something folded smalle sections of that pinched seam that joins floorboard with body.... (dont know what its called try to describe)

I had a fireturd that did that after it bottomed out pretty bad...lets just hope the previous owners son didn'tbeat the hell out of it

ya lets hope not. ive seen this b4 but only like once. it was my brothers car and it was tearing across the back of the floor pan. car damn near folded in half. i wonder if this is a common issue with some cars.
