Re: rusty old floor

While I can't answer your 4th gen question, I can sympathize with your floor issues. My '92 is plagued with rust in some rather awkward places in the floor and kick panel areas. I've just been cutting out the cancer and welding in new metal. The majority of the floor is solid though, so it sounds like yours is worse than mine. You can get full pans for our cars from Year One (and probably others as well) but they're a couple hundred bucks Anyway, good luck, and here's a few pics of my damage and repair:






There's lots more where those came from LOL http://92firebird.pontiacfanatic.com if you're interested. Good luck though, I'll be interested to know if 4th gen floors are close enough to ours to work...I have my doubts though....
