	Pelican Technical Article: 914 Floorpan Replacement
		Usually, floorpans are bad in the extreme corners, most notably in the front where the wheelwell and forward firewall attach.
		As an addition to my 'floorpan swap' tech article, I neglected to mention you should treat the finished structure with a primer of choice, but since this is just a floorpan, you dont necessarily need to paint it with factory colors.
		The 914 floorpan has a lot of contours to follow, and that means pushing it in with your fingers or thumbs, or using a selection of brayers to roll it down.

	Boyd's Mustang: Floorpan replacement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Use the old pan as a template to mark the new pan and weld the bracket into place before welding the pan into the car.
		Lots of Rustoleum should help keep the new floorpans in good shape.
		A couple of notes: If you have trouble getting the pans to lie flat for welding, screw them into place with sheet metal screws, then remove the screws one by one, welding up the holes as you go.

	Project Camaro–Banks Power: Project Camaro transmission tunnel and floorpan modification.
		When the firewall was relocated 6 inches rearward to accommodate the engine setback, the original floorpan and transmission tunnel had to be redone.
		Rick "Speed" Lefever crafted a new aluminum transmission tunnel that attaches to a lip on the firewall and floorpan with fasteners.
		Since there are racing bucket seats in the car, it is unlikely the tunnel will ever have to support any weight or be subject foot abuse, so lightweight aluminum was a suitable material.

	Story So Far - Page 1
		There were a couple of places on the left floorpan half which had rusted through (They weren't apparent when we bought the car) and there was a large repair done to the battery tray as the original section had almost completely rusted away (a common problem I hear).
		We decided that restoring the floorpan halves to what I considered an acceptable standard (as in A1 condition) maybe more effort than just replacing the floorpan halves with new ones (the old ones were in quite a state).
		Replacement floorpan halves were going to come with seat mounts, jacking points and battery clamping parts, all of which would have to be removed.

		Floorpan panel 11 and its matched panel (not shown) are made of aluminium.
		An automobile having a transmission tunnel extending lengthwise of the vehicle set in a floorpan of the vehicle, wherein the transmission tunnel is formed of a composite material composed of fibres set in a resin and the floorpan comprises first and second
		An automobile as claimed in any one of claims 11 to 17 wherein the adhesive used to bond the floorpan panels to the transmission tunnel is a urethane adhesive.

	Floorpan
		Note:- Before you fully rivet the floorpan in place it may be a good idea to fit the Handbrake/Seat 1" x 1" cross angle and the 40mm x 40mm Rear Cable angle.
		If fitted now they will not conflict with the floorpan rivets and a much better job can be done with the chassis upside down, they will also ensure the floor stays flat when the Tunnel and Rear panel go in.
		My floorpan turned out to be too long and it is difficult to shorten once the car is turned over and the Propshaft tunnel is in.

	Hillman Series Minx - Audax Unibody Rust
		Frame rails were used for the front section extending from the front jacking points to the floorpan transition point separating the front and rear seat areas.
		These sills were comprised of three parts: a outer sill panel making the "skin" wraping up into the door openings, a center sill panel section embossed to make it stiffer, and the innermost sill which was integral with the floorpan.
		Unlike present day cars, the first Unibody designs were not made to "crush" on impact in the case of an accident, and the sheet metal used in Audax bodies was thick gauge.

		The floorpan on a unibody is an important part of the vehicle's structure.
		Unfortunatly the floorpans are one of the first thing to rust out on most Mopars.
		The other was on the little hump where the parking brake cable goes between the frame and the floorpan.

	Stripping the Floorpan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		We stripped it back to the bare floorpan, treated the rust and went over the welds again, just to make sure that they were doubly bodgy.
		VW floorpans are cheap – if this one rusts, another can be sourced and chopped very cheaply and easily.
		Apart from welding and rustproofing, the floorpan needed a couple of holes cut to allow the gearshift and pedal linkages to be re-installed.

	66 Dart Floorpan
		These pics are the Drivers front floorpan before and after.
		I had patched the floorpans way back when by pop riviting and sealing a piece of sheetmetal over the hole since all we had was an ARC welder and Layson's wouldnt be making repop pans for about 12 more years!
		This is the area where the drivers floorpan, firewall, and splashshield all come together.

	Rust Repair Made Easy
		Rusty floorpans are common in the East and Midwest, where the harsh winter conditions and road salt eat away at a car’s undercarriage virtually from the first day it hits the road.
		In California, extensive floorpan rust isn’t as common, but dry-rotted weatherstripping and leaky heater cores often lead to isolated trouble spots like trunk floors and areas that lie under water-soaked carpet in the passenger compartment.
		A leaky heater core had rotted the carpet underlay and part of the floorpan into a nasty mess.

	Composites for Your VW
		The installation instructions that came with my floorpan section from Innovations had you install the fiberglass pan from the bottom of the car with self-tapping sheet metal screws and then seal the whole thing up with silicon sealant.
		I think Innovations floorpans will work OK for an application as I described above assuming that the seat rails are intact and sound and that the seat is not mounted to the composite.
		Granted this was the extreme of the thickness variation, but even in the relative flat of the floorpan the thickness varied by more than a factor of 2.

	65 Dart Floorpan Replacement
		We cut the new pan down the center and have patched the questionable areas and did the floor modifications for the new 727 tranny.
		As of Sep. 13, the Floorpan is in and done!
		It took a good 3 weeks from start to finish but it is well worth it.

	Brown House Photos :: Inner Longitudinals
		This also forms the sill that the floorpan sits on, so structural integrity is very important.
		If this were an external panel, now you would need to primer and put some thin filler over it, but since it is going to be covered in carpet, no need for filler.
		Most of the left side of the floorpan is now removed, to give access to long sill portion of inner longitudinal.

	Buildup 3
		The drivers side floorpan was slit and the crossbrace recessed and welded into it and we are exploring the possibility of running two main bars down from the rollcage to further strengthen the torque arm pickup point on the crossbrace.
		To illustrate where this is in relation to the interior, the four mounting studs shown on the two vertical floorpan reinforcements are the drivers side seat mounts.
		Once the floorpan is painted and the carpet and seats installed, it will be completely hidden.

		The floorpan was painted with two different colors the first being epoxy based paint.
		There should be brakes and transmission bolted into the floorpan by then.

	What Is An EMPI Imp? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The floorpan needed to be shortened by 12" (30.5 cm), but otherwise everything else remained stock VW.
		One popular misconception among buggy onwers is that Imps only came with certain wheels, interiors, etc. or have to have a floorpan the same age as the body.
		Likewise with a '67 Imp, you could not use an IRS floorpan, as the IRS rear suspension/transaxle wasn't introduced until '68.

	Bucket Seat Installation
		These seats were installed using 1/2" bolts through the floorpan and leveled with piles of washers under the inner feet.
		With enough weight on the seat to ensure that the inner brackets are tight to the floor, tack weld the brackets to the floor through the holes that were drilled to remove the spotwelds.
		I had a better section of floorpan from my '78 Malibu parts car that I used to patch the area before installing the new AC Carpet carpeting.

		Both wires should pass through the floorpan grommet just like the old wiring used to.
		It is optimal to install a connector somewhere between the fuel pump and the floorpan grommet, but not necessary.
		It is recommended that you don't insert too much fuel, just in case you have to drop the tank again for any reason.

		This is the new lower floorpan almost ready to be welded.
		The holes drilled along the bottom edge are used for plug-welding the sill to the floorpan lip; you can see that I have plug welded the holes to the first foot of floor, which has also been replaced.
		The floorpan has been repaired along both edges, the sills repaired and the holes in the inner sills welded.

	John's 1971 Chevy Nova
		I purchased a new toe board from http://www.carsinc.com which was a lot easier than trying to fabricate one with all those compound bends in it.
		I would have been smarter to buy the complete right side floorpan upfront, but didn't realize that the half pans didn't include the toe part.
		I found what works best when putting in the new floorpan was to tack weld it every 6" or so, then weld beads in increments of about 2" to 3" long.

		After the section was cut, he drilled out a couple of spot welds to free it from the trans cross-member beneath it.
		To prep the floor pan for welding, Arreola removed the paint from the edge of the floorpan opening with a wire wheel and then primed the bare metal.
		Bolting in the transmission (a cast-iron over-drive A-833) was the easy part; the trans, bell housing, and the stock Hurst shifter and linkage from the donor car– a ’76 Aspen station wagon – worked without modification, and we didn’t even need to change the drive-shaft length.

	Floorpan Replacement
		These clamps allow two pieces of sheetmetal to be aligned, clamped and seperated by only.090 inches...perfect gap for the mig weld to be applied to join the panels.
		In retrospect, I would only use the Cold Galvinizing compound in areas that will be un-accessable after welding, I made the mistake of spraying this in a number of areas which I later had to clean with a wire wheel just so I could get a good weld.
		AS you can see, the passenger side is the same story, just get the fit right, shooting for the.090 gap between the floorpan and what is left of the tranny tunnel and the clamp it up and butt-weld it.

	ZCAR.COM \| 70-83 Tech Discussion Forum - Black plastic like material under floorpan carpet
		I went out and braved the freezing garage yesterday to tear up my floorpan carpet, couldnt get all of it due to 2 screws that decided they would rather strip than come out.
		But anyways, on the passenger side I noticed a fl plastic like material under the carpet in some spots, it seemed pretty old because it just broke apart in my hands, I couldnt tell if it was sprayed on or what.
		Floorpans have a little surface rust on em, gunna sand them and put some rust stop(more like slow) over it.

	sill and floorpan replacement
		Please bear in mind, when working on the passenger side sills, that the petrol pipe runs underneath the floorpan and this should be totally removed after draining the petrol tank.
		Do not attempt any welding or cutting with this in place as a serious accident could occur.
		Following the inner sill repair, proceed to weld in the front floorpan repair section and front outrigger as in photographs 5, 6, 7 and 8.

		Minimum weight for 4 cylinder FWD cars is raised from 1,700 to 1,750 pounds, RWD/AWD 4 cylinder weight is lowered from 1,950 to 1,900 pounds, and a new weight is insitituted for air-cooled VW RWD at 1,850 pounds.
		FWD cars may now replace the horizontal portion of the OEM floorpan from the b-post area to the back of the car without incurring a weight penalty.
		Specifically, all the minimum weights are increased 100 pounds, but cars with non-OEM floorpan material from the B-post area to the back of the car no longer carry a 100-pound penalty.
