I have a 95 hatch, and the drivers side floor pan is rusting badly :S There are holes.

I checked out on majestic honda, and they "may" have a full pan, but they're pretty spendy (circa $400, plus shipping).

Anyone ever done a floor pan on a 5th gen civic? tips or tricks to share?

Also, what gauge metal would I need for the floor?

 

Not worth it. unless you're a journeyman bodyman with tons of time. You got the fuel line brake lines and then it might rust again from where you repaired it.

 

i would like to say replacing your floor pans is too advanced for a DIY-er. but its very possible. But the fact that you ask "what gauge metal" scares me. If you have to ask that, then you definitely wouldnt know where to start. yes you can get a blank sheet of steel and weld it in, but you also need the proper tools and/or machinery to reinforce that sheet of metal because it is too flimsy in its raw state. and welding a thicker or thinner gauge metal then what the car is made out of is definitely not the way to go. but the gauge thickness of the metal is not the main issue here. the issue is simply knowing what to do.

best way to "DIY" is buy a floor pan new or used (cutt one out of a donor car). then weld it in. it will take a lot of drilling,cutting,welding,reinforcing, protecting and painting. and so on and so forth.
