Rear Floor Pan pieces

Sep 15, 2004 3 Replies

I have just finished completely removing the floorpans on my 1970 Beetle and could do with some advice on the very rear sections. They come included on the floorpans I have purchased, but I am unsure if I need to remove the old ones. The ols ones seem to have been affected by rust but I am not sure how seriouos it is.



I have some pictures on my website :

If anyone gets a chance to have a look and comment I'd be really grateful.

Your web sire would not come up. But if you have left the rear pcs of the floor pans that attach to the body, thats a good thing they are much stronger(thicker gage) then the aftermarket. Cut the ones off the new pans and this will give you a better fit also. Hope this helps

Thanks, that's kind of what I figured I should do, but was unsure because the rust has eaten away at the rear sections slightly.

Bit worried the website isn't working... maybe try this instead:

If they have rust - no matter how serious - replace them. It will only come back again.
