Does anyone make a patch panel for the trunk floor where the exhaust hangers are? Or do I need to purchase a half trunk panel and cut out what I need? See pics.
Thanks!
I don't think so. I made patches for the last one that was rotted there.
I think I'd get the half pans and splice in what you need. I haven't priced anything recently but I recall they aren't much money. And getting half panels might keep shipping down.
I made patches for that area, was pretty easy. I ended up changing the whole trunk floor later (after sandblasting the whole car) because I found more rust in other places though.

:iagree: That small of a patch ( if that's all you need) I'd make it too! Give it a try, what do you have to loose? Sheet metal is cheap! :alan2cents:
erick, do you just need that one side? or both? I might have usable pieces....

This is the key comment here, in my opinion, you should always sandblast all of the car first, but to answer your question....I don't believe anybody sells the small patches that you need, you would have to buy a new trunk pan panels.

I will strip it and do proper repairs when the time comes. But for now, I need to do some quick patching.

No prob! Thanks for looking. :bradsthumb:
Thanks! Were you banging on the right side? What are you asking for them?
There yours for the cost of shipping. I can cut them to any size. Ya that's a long story. But thankfully I'm fixing her more properly this time. Let me know what size you want and where to send them.
Thanks for the offer. I picked up some sheet metal to do some patch work. When I'm ready, I'll do a proper replacement.
That was handsomely offered nonetheless Rob. Good on you! :cheers:
