that floor looks better than mine and all I had was some surface rust under the seats, what shape was the rubber flooring in? mine has worn through to the padding, looking to replace it ASAP

It did have good reviews.

One time I had to send a Focus to the body shop for floor pan repair needed to pass safety inspection. The car had about 325K miles on it, and the guy had worn a hole through three stacked floor mats, the carpet, the insulation, and the floor pan itself with his heel where he pivoted his foot back and forth between the gas and brake pedals.

is that Taurus in the background a "SHO", I loved the first gen SHO's with the Yamaha tuned engine. Don't see the fender skirts or SHO badge, just thought I would ask since it looks like it been painted.

that's my '92 SHO. I bought it new, still has the original paint. needs lots of TLC, has 177,000 miles on it. currently does not run. that story is for a different forum.

If you're not making mistakes, you're not learning.
Man that buffed out nice! I can hardly see the dent!!!

Also, spring shackes rust out like crazy, as do the mounts.

I look at the rear panel and see it would make a good tailgate for something old.

cut the entire floor out, it ain't easy.
