Can you weld, or know someone that can?
If you show me what you need I'll gladly cut up a parts car floor and send you the section you need to repair. |

I know how it is! I could have had the bodywork done 3 weeks ago if I wanted to, but I just don't feel like working on it anymore. Sucks.
The floor pan is kind of a bitch, but inbetween doing the bodywork, it was a nice change. If you have the tools and the will, you could do it on a saturday and have it all fixed. It looks a hell of a lot more complicated than it is. The rail you see on the side is not actual a major stuctural piece, so don't worry about it too much. The only thing you have to be careful with is the rail that runs through the middle of where your feet rest. But you can figure it out. If you need help just ask.
Getting the new pan form Nemesis would spare you a lot of time, too. But all I used to make the floorpan was a hammer, a piece of square metal to bend on, a grinder, and if you happen to have one a cut off wheel comes in handy, too.
Like I said, if you need help with something, just ask. If I can't help, someone else will be able to.  |

Yea, I know how to weld, but I don't have the tools to do it. Don't have a welding machine, grinder, etc.. pretty much sucks. The major disheartening thing is the console wiring that is everywhere and the wiring diagrams are just hard to read  . Also my dash is pretty much dead, ill have to find a new one of those too

Maybe you should find a good parts car and combine the two??

Not really looking to sink money into a whole 'nother car, plus I barely have enough room for this one

the wiring diagrams for this car are EASY to read you just need to know how, with regards to the dash they are ALL pretty dead, but noone has the money for a new one.

No, you would have to see my dash to know what I am talking about, it is literally dead. And as to selling it I don't think anyone would buy it  And as to the wiring diagram I am sure they're easy to read for someone that knows how but I have never seen one before and don't understand them.

You need a winter like we have up here. It is a forced rest from the car hobby.

I have a small garage with an old gas furnace where the 924 lives and I still take November through January off.

| I'd rather not have a gas furnace while sanding and making dust! |

You're too cautious.
