Started checking my trunk floor a little closer today. I scraped, poked, and sanded several areas and see only 3 spots where the floor is rotted through. They are about the six of a pencil eraser. The floor itself is pitted any where from 20-30%, but not through. Pits are deep enough that I can't sand out.
So, what's your opinion? Replace entire floor pan, or just patch and POR 15 the whole thing?
I will most likely have to replace the left rear quarter. In addition, I have found that the rear wheel well inner housing has some rot too. Should be able to just patch since the floor pan adjacent to it is fine.
The rear sheet metal that houses the brake lights are shot. Especially where they meet the trunk floor. I don't think they are reproduced so I'll have to find a decent original piece. I know, good luck.
So for the long post. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
