Title: Floor pans
Post by: fe350chev on December 18, 2011, 08:16:14 PM
Hi

Here are my floors pans after giving them a good buff with the wheel.

See the vast difference, there was hardly any of that insulation/sound stuff on the RHS. Looks like they have been replaced because of the diff paint colours. If so they did a great job. Just that little hole in the right rear and left far front to deal with. What do the Guru's think, one would be forgiven to think these have been replaced or is this some strange Holden thing?  :D

Should I go for a more original look and paint with like same colour kill rust stuff after using a conditioner or should I go black like a lot of ppl do? I sorta like the idea of brushing stuff on to get into everywhere better. Looks like the pans were treated on the right that way  ???

I would think maybe there was a windscreen leak early in the cars life which caused a light surface rust. The affected side was cleaned and painted.

Plausible
