floor repair
Posted: Wed Aug 26, 2015 1:53 am
Hi,
Does anyone know what gauge sheetmetal I should use in repairing the hole in the front passenger side floor in my 86 Aries? The iron moths have attacked the floor pan in only this one place, the rest of the floor is as it should be, good and solid. Barring this, is there anyone making patch panels for these cars yet? Living up here in Michigan, winter salt is a major problem and so for the only repair panels I have found and uses have been the rocker panels. I wish I could put her up for the winter but that isn't possible so I drive her almost every day, summer through winter. Though she still looks good with the bondo patching I'ver done, I would really like to have some real metal put into the affected places.
