Saving floor pans with pin holes
« on: February 13, 2013 - 07:58:25 PM »
My floors  and trunk are pretty solid but I am noticing some pinholes here and there.      I have not sandblasted yet that may tell the story.   Should I even consider saving them or just replace them now while I can?    :dunno:

If there is enough rust to form pin holes they are done. I tried to weld pin holes in mine but they were so thin it would burn a bigger hole the second you started welding.

:iagree: What the man said. I DID blast mine and you'll be pleasantly amazed at how it will turn into a lace curtain, right before your eyes. Put a 1 piece in if you're serious about the car. Just my  :2cents:

Thanks guys,   that was the answer I expected.   Might as well do it now while she's all stripped down :walkaway:
