MKIII supra spare tire well.

4v351w · 06-26-2008, 04:40 PM

WTB a spare tire well. I just bought a 88 supra turbo and when I looked
in the rear hatch at the spare found 6in. of water and completely rotted.it was so bad that the spare tire wheel rotted .
I need someone willing to cut out a good rear trunk pan and ship it. I live in N.M. Im not in a big hurry but want to try to get it back like it belongs.

Or does anyone know if any company's make replacment pans for the MKIII?

I had the same problem... I sanded it down, covered the holes with sheet metal then fiberglassed the whole thing... sanded and painted it just looks like a newly painted spare tire compartment

Only way to get rid of rust is cut it out and weld in new metal.
It's like cancer, leave the tiniest bit and two years down the road you see it come through again.

Thanks for the Input, I have found a sheet metal co. in town thats going to
make me a new one out of 16 gage galvenized . patching was not an option, The metal was crumbling so the pan has to be replaced. so this is the plan for now

With just a sheet metal bottom make sure you get the muffler insulator welded on the bottom of it. Its more for extra assurance via stock but if you are changing it definitely get that on there

Well, how much would you pay for one, plus shipping from San Diego? I'm willing to do it but that's quite a bit of time to cut it out right.

Anyway if you want a perfect condition white well, let me know. Shoot me an email.
