Well I was sitting at home bored thinking about my car then the floor pan popped up in my head. Got something else to drive so out comes the interior.

PICS!!!!!

As you can see the drivers side is gone. The passenger side has a few holes, not sure if ill replace it or just fill them in. Thankfully the back is fine just a little on the surface.

It won't get fixed right away but probably should be before it goes back on the road.
 
Been there, done that, lol. Yikes, that looks pretty rough. It wasn't that difficult of a job for me, but my floor wasn't that bad. Only the passenger side front was rusted on mine, right above the catylitic conv. Good luck with the repair.
 
You may want to find and cut out a floor section, or pieces out of another G-body car with a solid floor. I had recently pulled up my carpeting and discovered several holes as well. Several years ago I painted the floors and they didn't look bad, until I checked recently and was surprised at what I found. I have passed on a few good solid floor pans knowing that I didn't need them at the time. I ended up welding a few patches in. Still better than having the holes.

How are you making out with the body repair since your accident?
 
Tracked down a front clip with a good pass fender radiator support and header panel with good trim. Only wants $100 just haven't been able to meet up due to weird work schedules. Hopefully I can get it tonight or tomorrow, the sooner the better.

I'll be sure to post when I get it.

Don't let those parts slip away...that's a good price for a complete front clip. Call the guy and tell him you're still interested in them. The sooner the better... :wink:

Don't think they're going anywhere, he's a good friend I've known since middle school. He and his uncles are gbody guys and seem to be able to get parts all the time.
 
Wow thats straight Flinstones style. Be thankful it's an easier place to patch rather than any spots requiring serious fab work. Although you may find those too if ya dig a lil deeper. Good luck!
 
Got my new fender and header panel put on last night. The parts aren't in perfect shape but they can be fixed. The body lines aren't lined up right now but we'll do it before we paint. And the header panel trims not as good as I thought but my friend says he might have some extras laying around.
And I also found out how much different a 79 header panel is different from an 80.
