    Today I went to remove my seats because one is busted . While I was underneath I found the drivers side rear floor board is rusty and the drivers side has some holes .There may be some rust in the passenger side back floor . I know the top was shot but never thought the floor boards were gone too . I know this subject probably has been beaten to death . What and where could I go to get floor boards . I wonder if using the car for a parts car ? I really don't want to go that route . So I need some input thanks

    post some pics how bad it is.
    check the cowl vents, that's where the water usually gets in when they're rusted out.
    as for floor pans, you can adapt mustang floor pans as they're widely available.

    It may take me awhile to get some pics up . I think I need to take the seats and carpet out . Then I can show you what is going on with them
