My FWD wagon has 301,999 miles on it as of 28 minutes ago, it still runs but i have one question. Is it really worth it replacing the floor panels?

I was also wondering what the pros and cons are of relocating the battery to the trunk.

Yeah, I was going to ground an amp there once, then I got mad and drilled a self-tapping screw through the floor. All the way through. Not the best idea.

Rusted seat bolts sucks. I had to go through that the first time I took the seats out of my RX-7. I ended up having to cut out the seat mounts and then weld in new ones. It was not exactly fun.

Yeah, it's a 20 year old car, but I'm optimistic. I have an air rachet.

Kelly blue book value: $2000. This car has more pieces of plastic and vinyl than a car probably should have. And the seats are rusted to the floor. I'll probably do it if I can find a pair of cheap nice seats.

Floor pans.

I also want to replace the rear shocks. But I'm hoping to do that within this month.
