Floor Pan Corrosion
Symptoms
Soft or thinning floors, particularly in the driver's and passenger's footwells. Wet carpet after rain. Road noise increases.
Cause
Water entry through deteriorated door seals, windscreen seals, and from below via road spray. The floors are better protected than British cars of the era but are not immune to 50 years of moisture exposure.
Fix
Weld in repair sections.
Some reproduction panels are available; others must be fabricated.
Cost: $500--1,500 per section.
