Default Floorpans?

Just curious if I decided to replace my floorpans, what would I need to do it myself, or would a body shop be more ideal(please say no!) What kinda money am I looking at?...and if I do do it myself do you guys prefer patchwork, or a complete replacement? and finally in completely replacing do you guys prefer a one piece floorpan or buying it in sections and welding yourself?.....................

You will need a good mig welder to patch floor pans and it depends on what condition your floarboards are in you can do it yourself its not hard

floorboards are not that bad only below rear seats, the frame is what is starting to scare me....not too bad. rust has not eaten through any metal but fixing it soon is all thats on my mind. How am I supposed to go to work when all you can think about is the car?

Visit the FAQ section in the body and frame section.

Make sure you dont have the car sitting on the wheels if you goto do it yourself. Get at least 8 jack stands and position all around the car. If I would have had it my way, Id have patched the problem areas or just done the full side pans.
