Default So, what floorpan section is this?



I think I am going to need to change out the entire floor, each section has issues or bad previous repairs (epoxy anyone)..anyway, I dont think this section is included in the one piece floor, is it the "rear floor extension" ?

The screwdriver shows the area in question, it looks like a jack went through and it ripped. The drivers side is rusted where it connects to the wheel house and a bit into the transition pan, so I will also need to repair the edge of the transition and possibly section in the inner wheel house.

OK, now that I have gone back and looked at a pic 2+2 posted I think that section IS included on the one piece pan, but the curved section in front of it is not?

I believe the piece in front that is not included with the pan is the rear torque box.

I will also need to change my frame extensions and I wonder if it is OK to remove them while the floor is out of the car provided I have support under the rockers? It would make the job MUCH easier!

The full floor is most easily installed from underneath. You must remove the exhaust system and driveshaft, etc. On a car getting a full floor, some or all of that is already off, anyway.

The floor in that photo has been cut down. Kinda defeats the purpose of getting a one piece floor.

If you're going through all this work take the glass out. I was surprised how much rust I had under the seals.
