There is a damage under Pedal Cluster when I'm deciding to replace the spring , because the brake return spring was rust and the clutch spring broke , I'm afraid if I take off the set out will make more hole , it better replace the floor . because my car was really rusty under . Just fix the passenger side by sheet metal , and now found out more damage .
now , I get a question , if I order the whole floor pan , which one better ? front and rear 2 piece , or left and right ?
I have check stoddard , pelicanparts , autoatlanta
anybody have done this , of course I just order the parts , someone will help me work on it .

Aloha!

The 2 options for the floor-pan have different coverage in the pedal cluster area.
I don't know what will be better for you but this will probably be your decision point.

BTW, I'll be on the Big Island in March (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). Too bad I can't bring my car with me.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I bought a lot of steel from resto design. Good people, good product.

Lots of good threads on floor pan replacement.

I think you may find that you may have rust in the pan and in the area under the pan where the Pedal Cluster bolts up to the pan. It sits low there and water wants to collect in there.

You get the front section of the pan and the Pedal Cluster reinforcement piece from Restoration Design or AA. Go where you get your best deal on freight to you. I put a front and back as I wanted to fix my clutch tube the right way. I had a problem there that the PO did not fix right. I went with front and back as I thought it gave me a cleaner pan look. You get ½ right/ left or ½ front /back. They cover the center.
