What should it cost to replace the whole 1 pc floor pan? The car had a amateur restore done but he did not fix the pans he put bondo and tar on them to make them feel ok. I wanted to get the trans tunnel fixed as it was cut up to fit a hurst shifter and when i pulled out the interior I found some rusty pans. I brought it to my body guy and he said the best and right thing to do would be to replace the whole floor pan vs patching the tunnel and all 4 pans. any advise anyone can give me would be great.. thnaks

no offense, just do a search this topic has been discussed almost weekly.

ok I guess I am looking for an about cost for someone to do this work I was a little shocked on how much he quoted me. I know the pan is about 500 and he said that too, but total cost was high or at least I thought???

yeah after searching looks like what the guy told me was way too much I think

Floor should be 325$. Unless you get it shipped then add more $$$

I paid 1250$ in labor for my full 1 piece floor and trunk install and after calling other places decided that was a good deal. Labor out here in the Bay Area is high.

IF your mechanically inclined and do not mind putting in some labor...

Buy a lincoln mig pac welder est under 500.00, buy your floor pan est 350 and do it yourself. It can be a challenge but many of us on here do it ourself. Its cheaper and if you did not have a welder doing it yourself just paid for the welder and you can now do more welding/repairs yourself.

Before you say I dunno how to weld... a floor pan is a good place to learn imo! If the size of the job is daunting then you can simply repair the pans in sections, there is nothing wrong with doing it that way either. Actually if it was me, and the rear pans were solid, I would just replace the bad pan sections and the trans tunnel. Weld in the panels, grind/clean up your welds, and coat it with some epoxy seam sealer on both sides and your golden!

Ditto what Jeff just said, emphasis on the LABOR part. I picked up a used Hobart 135 mig for $250, full tank of argon/co2 and spool of wire for $110. Good thing too because as I've torn the car apart I've found several other areas that need repair, could have added up to $thousands quickly. And now I have another tool! I had never welded before, just started practicing on some scrap. It's really easier than you think, the owner's manual for the welder actually had a pretty good writeup on how to weld.

Just about ready to install a one piece floor myself, which should be the easy part, what's taken forever has been removing the old floor... crappy patchwork and booger welds, and cutting through all those dang spotwelds, there's just so many of them.
