Ed Posted December 22, 2004 Share #4 Posted December 22, 2004 Your floorpans are history, gone, swiss cheese. To patch all those holes would require more work than to just replace the pan. The end of the frame rail is also rusted so I would suggest you buy the entire kit (pans & rails). Zedfindings has the best quality around.

new_2_z Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share #11 Posted December 22, 2004 srry try it now still new to this if i new how to just put pics on the post that would make life that much easier. i need to know what size..etc etc but before u say i picked a bad lemon out of the bunch of z. i kinda wanted to bring a z back to life and i think i will enjoy the car alot more if i understood and sweated,bleed for it. i guess u can say i will have alot of respect for the car. the bottom of the rockers are solid just the top where the melal plate was is any show of rust. as for as rust what u have seen and the battery tray is the only rust on the car. at least i have one good thing :classic: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/14411-need-help-on-floors/#findComment-105952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambikiller240 Posted December 22, 2004 Share #12 Posted December 22, 2004 Want to know how to attach images? DONT USE THE QUICK REPLY ! ! ! Click on the "POST REPLY" button, then enter your text. Scroll down the page to the button that says "MANAGE ATTACHMENTS",. click that and take it from there.Your question about " i need to know what size..etc etc " needs to be stated more clearly. FWIW, no one has yet criticized your choice of cars. If you have the MONEY, TIME, and SKILL to bring it back to life.........more power to you. However, from your questions it may seem to some people that you don't yet have the knowledge to really know what you have gotten yourself into (in terms of the work & expense that is going to be required to finish the project) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/14411-need-help-on-floors/#findComment-105956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
