Re: The fun begins on the Y Nova
Tap the floors with a ball pean hammer. Then put your light under the car. That will show you where all the small pinholes are, and help you decide if you're going to try to weld them up, or replace the floor. Looks like the areas above the torque box's are good.

Re: The fun begins on the Y Nova
It's a lot easier than that Schonye....I just need to drill out the pop rivets holding the 2 floor patches and do it right...

Re: The fun begins on the Y Nova
My thought was that if you have multiple small holes on the front floor pans, and obvious holes patched in the back, that it is just about as easy, and more sanitary to replace the whole side, rather than a qtr section.
If you're anal, you'll need to save the floor drain holes.
