Thanks

 

What's a 'badly' panel?

 

I have a right side floor pan from them, which I have NOT yet installed. I'll take a few pix of it at some point over the weekend, and post them. It really is a lot better than I expected it to be, when I ordered it.

 

Ok. Here are a few quick pix. You can see a few dings, but, that's due to how I've stored it, and it's nothing my hammer and dolly can't straighten out.

 

Thanks, jagzilla.... Question.... That pan is for an xjs, correct?... Don't the pans include half of the transmission tunnel?

Would you say that sheet is 16 or 18 gage?

Are you going to weld it yourself? What type of welder will you use?

If you will install the pan yourself..... May be do a how-to?

Thanks again....

 

Yeah... Body panel.... Thanks to ipad autocorrect.

 

Yep. That's an XJS floor pan. Although I have seen some companies offer separate pans for front and rear, this is a single piece, and makes perfect sense to me, because, if the front is rusted out, chances are good that the rear isn't far behind. Also, a single unit is usually going to provide a stronger repair than doing it in pieces.

Sorry. I recently, and incorrectly, posted on another thread that it includes nearly half the tranny tunnel. It had been a couple years since I pulled the floor pan out of the box & looked at it. I guess I remembered it differently. It does have a 1-3/4" vertical section which goes up the side of the tunnel.

I don't have a metal thickness gauge (can't seem to find one locally), and the battery is dead on my digital calipers, but, according to the illustration on the inside cover of my welder, it looks to be 16 gauge.

I've never welded in floor pans, but, I will likely do it myself, rather than paying hundreds of dollars for someone else to do it. I used my Lincoln Electric Pro MIG 180 to successfully repair the rear jacking points, forward trailing arm mounts, and sections of the the rear subframe rails, when local body shops wouldn't touch the job, or even give me quotes for it. I used 1/4" plate steel for the base of the jacking points/trailing arm mounts, and I used 2" angle iron to replace portions of the subframe rail sections. Since my choice of repair materials is about a bazillion times thicker than stock, I doubt I will ever have a rust problem in that area again. I don't imagine welding floor pans could be too much more difficult, if at all.

 

replaced both sides on my 78 XJS, it was quite labor intensive, especially the front section
where floor turns upward (that is not supplied) part where pan meets firewall foot well.

rear was easy, just brake bend or thin angle iron, to much iron makes the car heavier, for me, every ounce counts.

my 78 roadster weighs in at 3360lbs!

 

wow that is light!... I bet you can feel that torque...
Did you take any pics by any chance?
Thanks
