What makes the $130 one worth almost twice what the $65 one is?

The cheap one states it’s not an oe replacement but fits, the more expensive on looks like an oe replacement.

If you look at the cheap one, it's smaller.  The expensive one goes all the way from the body seam, to past the front seat bolts.     With the lips and bosses and stuff, you have datum points to work with.


The cheap one looks like you lay it onto your rusty floor pan, pop rivet it in place, then carpet over it.

So I wi probably need the $130 one if I am able to procure the car with the rusted Dr floor. Been looking at cheap tig machines but I'm really thinking I just need to get a bottle of c25 for my wire feed and go at it.

Rock auto Rich. The shipping is ridiculous but you’ll get the full pan for less

Cool, I'll look it up. You are getting the five percent off when you order right?

Yep.  Discount code 11187024610560 6298

Bad part is those fuckers charge sales tax now.   And for some reason it's more than the 7% my area ''collects''.
