Does any body out there know if there is a replacement floor pan for a 84 C4 6 spd. I'm doing a restore and the drivers pan has been repaired, (poorly) with steal looks like an old road sign.
I would like to replace it with as original as posible.

My brother in Albq. had to have both sides replaced on his. I don't know if the shop was able to buy repros or if they went to a boneyard.

His looks like new now. I think he ended up paying $2,500-$3,000 for the repair.

Should be SMC not metal

best bet may be to cut the section you need out of one from a yard.

I think its normal for there to be sheet metal riveted there. There is on mine, and its been mentioned in other threads. Of course my floor itsself is crunched because some moron put a jack under that metal instead of under the frame.

There is some metal at least tied into the frame...


Stolen from his thread of frame for sale....

The only sheet metal is to give the seats something solid to connect to. If there wasn't any there, you would go flying if you got in an accident.
Federal regulations also requires this...

Anywas.... there are a lot of people with the problem of holes in the floor pan. I don't know if every single PO forgot how to use a jack, or if it a common point to bottome out. Post a pic so we know where this hole is on your car.

My car has a hole in the front outside corner on both driver's and passenger sides. You can do it yourself, but it's a pain. It's a standard fiberglass repair job, but you have to get some SMC safe epoxy. You should be able to get it or have it ordered in at your local automotive shop.

As soon as I get my jack and jack stands, I will be fixing mine. I'm NOT looking forward to it.

There's metal in the floor. I had to use a BFH and a block of wood to bump mine back down. Funny...when right back into shape with a couple wacks. Never know it was dented.
