Floor Pans:
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2011 11:29 am
So my floor pans in my '69 Spider are a mess and need to be replaced. The rest of the body is pretty decent, so it's worth saving...
I've found a 1980 parts Spider in a local salvage yard with very good floor pans in it. I'll have access to a fork lift that'll give me the access I'd need to remove the parts of the floor pans that I need. Maybe just get a complete set of floor pans? Are the '80 floor pans different from the '69 ones? Seems like there's a hump in the passenger's side of the '80 floor pans that isn't there on my '69, but will the overall shape be ok? I can have the complete floor pans from this car for fifty bucks...
Thoughts are appreciated.
