Hey All

Been stripping my ute to bits, the floor pan is pretty much nackered.

Does anyone know if the are still availaible new either genuine or aftermarket, or should I just push datto into a creek?

Cheers

ummm, no, no and definately NO! Buy some panel steel and weld a new one in, they are not that big.

just re deck the floorpan with chequer plate looks the business and is pretty damn strong

checker plate would be heaps noisy. just go to midalia and buy some sheet metal and weld the sucker in where u need it. not too thick or you wont bend it. this is usually what happens with rusted out floor pans from my experience.

yeah just go and get some 2-3mm sheet and bend it to suit. My 1000 ute that i recently aquired has no floor left. I bent up some sheet to fit, and it wasnt that hard, just time consuming. I am gonna fibreglass over the top of it when its welded in place. That will neaten it up rather than having to bog and bash the sharp edges into place.

Thanks Everyone

Im gunna have a lash at bending up the floor with at bit of 3mm.

Reuby, I take it you didn't replace the tunnel in the middle just the floor to the left & right of it, the tunnel is in good nick so I will leave it be if possible.

What did you do about the rails underneath the driver & passenger?

Cheers

3mm is abit over kill, you will have to raise the suspension to get it back to your normal ride height. Maximum 1.2mm will be still even better than factory, the ribs are the strength in the floor.
