floorboard fail... let's see what nico thinks.

[SLiguykyle]

so i installed a new cat-back on my car today and i realized just how bad my floorboard is. the guy who owned the car before me must've tried to go rock crawling or something because the frame on the left side (driver's) is practically flattened right where the frame stops and the floorboard is pushed up as if a rock had been ran over right about where the floor goes up for the rear seat mount. does anyone have any ideas? sledge hammer? i have no idea how i'm going to fix this. anyone? ideas?

p.s. i'll take pics when i can

[P_856]

BFH should do the trick take some pics so we can see how bad it is

[SLiguykyle]

BFH??? i'll take pic tomorrow morning for sure!!!!

He probably just tried jacking the car up by there.

S-chassis frames are like tin cans.

[SLiguykyle]

>_> come to think of it he very well might have D: omg... does frame damage to anything to the car if it's not bent, just flat?

uhh... slipped off?? oh. and gas mileage? uhh. idk. i know i usually get 185-210ish city, but when i hit that i5 to san diego and back i got almost 300 (we're talkin' running the tank to about the bottom line) i thought that was normal... gosh i hope it's not too bad.

OUCH turns out he did i think. i have more pics if u guys want them let me know. but this is the damage. it squished it so far that it pushed the floorboards up (look just passed the frame right side of pic for the crease)

soo.... any ideas??

[SkinnyKibbles]

Gut it, make it a track car. Get another 240?

[SLiguykyle]

that's what i'm doing but uh...... yea... i can't fix this? is it structurally important? O.o kinda looks like it would be. but idk. >_> its just kinda wierd. and i think it makes my seat crooked too.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Heat it up then use a BFH

[gmac708]

time for the RBFH!

[DRIFTKNIGHT_240]

Same thing happened to me, but other than made a little bump behind the driver seat i think its ok there is nothing to worry about!!!!!I mean my driver seat move forward and backward without any difficulty ,, maybe when i get new rail seat for my racing seat i 'll have to fix it ... who knows..

Damn, it's crazy how you guys in Cali can actually buy a 240 without seeing the framerail. That's the first place we have to look around here.

[spooled240]

yeah we get no rust out here

i was thinking about a dent puller. Remove all the undercoating from the rail so the bare metal is exposed then pull away.

[SLiguykyle]

my buddy's bodyshop guy said he could fix it with a puller. so i might just try the RRRBFH first? :] and if it fails then i'll go to him. guess i know to check the frame a little better next time i buy a car >.< didnt hardly notice it when i bought it. looked like a small dent. not a squish :[ lessons learned the hard way... fail...

oh.. and...

"we get no rust..." FTW! haha

[noobdrftr]

let us know how it comes out..
