matt_w Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hi, Recently, while working on my 240z (new car), I noticed that the passanger side floor pan was buckled up. Also, the frame rail that runs all the way up to the engine compartment and back to under the passanger seat is bent slightly upward at about a foot from the end. I hammered the floor pan out and it mostly popped out, but the frame rail is still slightly bent. While hammering, part of the frame rail (the very end of it, maybe 3-4" from where it tapers off) kind of collapsed, and it is fairly rusted through. What should be the next course of action? Should I just cut off the rusted part? Should I reinforce the part that I cut off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_w Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Yeah, I tried a search but maybe the terms I used sucked. Anyway, thanks for the advice, I ordered a set of bad dog frame rails. John at Bad Dog provided some good advice as well on installing and bending back/prepping the old ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
