I second that!. If you try to replace the floor pan, one you will have to chisel the welds from the braces and second, you will have to weld the new trunk floor back to the braces. If you do not have the tools, welder and knowledge you will be in for one big problem. And yes, wheel brushing will show up all kinds of holes and sometimes little holes turn into really big holes.
