well i looked into the price of a new floorpan for the now salty rotted one in my 1988 rx7 gxl.... and i was very suprised to hear that it would be on back order from japan, and its listed at 860.75 .... being as this is rediculious price, i considered pulling a pan out of a car thats been wreaked, but why would i pay to put in a floorpan thats as bad as the one i got.,.,



so what i was wondering

1. is it possible to get a metal fabrication shop to bend some metal, break it..... then mig it in,

2. Does anyone have blueprints for the floorpans they can post?

3. should i get them to bend it into an X? for strength or somthing else?

4. what gauge should i use?


thanks

blueprints for the floorpans??hahaha

Yeah, they can be made easily, I would recommend an 18 gauge steel.

Just have them roll a few beads in the panels for rigidity and weld them suckers on.

Could probably even improve on the designs if you know what your doing, i know on my Targa FC i'm going to be adding extra support similar to the way verts are reinforced.

im sorry if i worded that wrong, what i meant by blueprints, is
is there anywhere on the pan that needs to be raise more then normal/lowered...


so 18 guage ,.... gotcha

how is the vert reinforced? im not familiar with verts.....
