Hello

[Rebl4ce]

My name is Robert, i live in Killeen tex, own a 78 280z with a perfect body and running engine, AC, 5 speed. I am currently removing everything from the car and about to have it blasted and checked for rust. I did find a dime size rust spot on the passenger side floorboard, and the passenger firewall is rusted from battery acid. The car still looks good with the interior completely removed, all paint is good inside. I need to find a floorpan and firewall replacement. The engine and suspension will be removed for blasting then cleaned and replaced with new bushings and hoses. If u have any advice please feel free to share. I will post some pics when I get used to this digital camera.

Welcome to the club. There are floor pan replacements, but I think you can only buy them in a set. I'm not sure about the firewall replacement, you'll have to ask some of the more experienced guys on here.

Anyway, welcome to the club, and post some pictures when you can!

Check with Zedd Findings . Charley Osborne will sell one side if that is all you want. I don't know what years his floor pans fit . The one I used is great and better than original. He has rockers as well but I think the firewall will be a problem . If all you have is a dime sized hole in the floor and the rest is sound . Just cut the bad metal away and have a patch welded in. Same with the firewall. Just because you have surface rust doesn't mean you need to remove the whole area. How bad is the rust really. If it is surface rust , clean it off with wire brush and or a DA then use POR to seal the bare metal . That is if the metal is sound.

before you ask, you will see a lot of references to POR. It is a rust converter/sealent that many here swear by. Just run a search on POR-15 to see what I mean and read some testimonials.

Welcome to the forum, you found the right spot.
