 Posted: Thu Nov 19, 2009 11:34 am Post subject: Squareback Floor Pans - questions |
 |
|
Hi everyone,
I need to replace my entire floor.
I have seen that there are companies that create floor pans.
I have 2 questions:
1) How much does floor pans cost?
2) I have seen one side floor pan from a bug for sale, are these the same floor pans?
I would love for suggestions in that matter, even on DIY kind of solution.
I understood that the part which cost the most in a bodywork are the floor pans and i need the money for engine improvements  .
Thanks.
Naor.

Karmen Ghia 1/2 pans can be used with some cutting/welding to the fronts. Don't Hack in Anything, but new/used VW pans!

Gerson (funky green panel guys) is in the process of making the dies to stamp them, thay will be $500 a set plus shipping and should be available by spring I think. there is a thread here about it.

I am waiting for a set right now
if you use ghia pans there is a lot of fab and fitting involved, there is a place overseas making them now but they are EXPENSIVE and have to be cut in half to ship |

you can check out some of my pictures for the Ghia Pans that I put into my Square. I thought it was going to be a lot more work but it wasn't that bad. Just make sure that you have a good welder and some body dolly's to "massage" the panels into place correctly.
Pictures are in the Type 3 Squareback Gallery under 1967 Squareback Barn Find

Once the pan was painted you could barely tell they were Ghia pans
