Floor pan replace tips and legalities

[spud_22]

Just get 4 pans a grinder and welder then go nuts.

Ok... Legalities: If you steal the steel then you will probably go to jail. If you buy it then you are probably ok. Unless you buy it with drug money. If you do that then it'll probably get seized as proceeds of crime. Unless you cut the local police in on your operation. This will eat into your profits but may help you stay in business longer. Just a tip though - HZ probably won't make a good getaway car. Even at their best they don't handle what so ever. Go find a Rex or something fast and zippy that will get you away from a sticky situation quick smart.

Mum only has 3 pans in the cupboard, do you think a wok will work? If so we are in business.

I can vouch for that. Definitely find a more agile getaway car.

P.s. I had no troubles getting a roadworthy, but my floor pans weren't hot.

Click on my ute thread in my sig. First post shows a few pics. Knowing what I do now, I'd do it a bit differently. Half of the problems you'll have relate to the fact that the rare spares floor pans aren't 100% perfect. Where they overlap where they're folded, you should weld them imo. Otherwise it's just another area for rust to form.

Gemini's where bad for that, if they are just sections of the pan I would tack them in and weld them flush no big deal at all.
