Title: Thing Floor Pans?
Post by: slugbug on September 08, 2004, 06:14:26 PM

What type of floor pans does  a Thing take? T-3/Ghia? Saw a '73 Thing on ebay that needs floors and rocker work. Comes with a sh#tload of parts  :blink: linky linky (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39405&item=2488883244&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)

two words. east coast. but you're close so maybe it'll work out.

it would take alot more than floor pans to get that thing going. it has been exposed to the elements for some time. sitting outside under a tarp for who knows how long. mix & match parts. i bet money that the bottom 2\"s are gone. check out the headlight buckets and the doors that came off of it. i'm not trying to talk you out of it, just giving my honest opinion.

of course, i'm one to talk. i got a bucket oval in peices in my garage.

as for floor pans, a quick search netted this.

Things use a Ghia pan half.

ok thanks for the info. Like you said, probably a big project. I remember one of my Sisters friends had one a few years back and it was a real mess.
