I have a 92 and the drive side floor pan has tears in it and it sags. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how much should I expect to spend on getting it welded or replaced?

Best bet is to take it to a couple body shops... they might recommand buying a whole new floor pan... 50resto.com has them for around 109 for just the pan...

i have the same problem on my 92 also on the driver side... im gonna try to just get it welded lil cheaper... but im sure it wouldnt cost more then a couple hundred?

i also would like to know how much people have paid to get it done

Nearly every Fox I have owned has had these cracks. My 79 developed them 15 years ago. I added subframe connectors, and the cracks have not grown a bit since then. I have not actually repaired the cracks.

There are kits and reinforcements to repair this, or you can just do a plain add some metal and weld a repair patch over the crack.

The subframes that have the crossmember that ties to the seat mounting bolts is a good idea also.

Every Fox I've owned has had floorboard cracks - some worse than others. If you have a welder that you can run low power and some rudimentary skill, you can "repair" the cracks at least enough that they won't allow water in the car, creating a foothold for rust. Take your seats and carpet out if you have the inclination (reduces fire hazard and allows access). You will probably scare yourself with how many cracks are there. The only areas with any real strength in your floorboards are the anchor points for the seats and the seatbelts. If you ever do pull your carpet up and inspect the damage, you will almost certainly want to add reinforcement in the form of subframe connectors and seat anchor backing - another job for the welder. If you take it somewhere, you run the risk of them burning your carpet, seats, etc. and the potential for some serious overcharging. If you find a decent place to do the work for you, expect to pay a couple of hundred bucks for the repairs (another reason to consider purchasing a welder if you don't have one, or better yet, borrow it).
