Well this is not good.I was under my car yesterday and I noticed a section of the floor that had been repaired.Someone had just sprayed some rubberized coating over a rusted area without doing a repair.While peeling away the rubber,the damage headed directly into the unibody frame.So now It's seems that I have some extensive repair on my hands, or a parts car. I build machines for a living so I'm not afraid of the project,but short on where to find some repair panels or floor pans. I know this will not be an easy fix. Any ideas would be greatly appreaciated. Has anyone done one of these repairs before? I'm even considering a custom frame.I'd really like to save this car,if I can.

Is it just the floor or like the entire underbody, i had a similar problem with a saabi that i was working on where the floor was rusted out and just used sheet metal for an easy repair.... bent it in to shape and riveted it in, but if the damage expands into the body frame theni wouldn't know

Evildky,Thanks for the info. I checked out that site, looks like a great resource for parts.They have the parts I need for 299.00,not bad. I really appreciate the help. I also found this site/forum that I thought might come in handy for anyone doing autobody repairs in the future. http://www.autobodypro.com/index.html
