metal cover in trunk on left side and spare tire floor replacements?
So i have the usual rust on top of that metal cover in the trunk to the left of the gas tank. Does anyone know if you can still get a new one of these panels? Also Looking to see if any company make the replacement floor for the spare tire well. -

Not available new anymore and the Z31 hasn't reached that point where aftermarket vendors offer sheet metal replacement panels like the S30 crowd.
Refinish/fix what you have or find better condition used parts.

Damn that's what I was afraid of. I feel stupid asking this but what is that panel for in the trunk? Is it gas tank or fuel pump access? Does it have a part number? -

Mainly a sound deadener panel. Can be removed if you like. There are more of those type panels under the front carpet if you ever get to disassmble your car that far.

i realize this is an old thread, stumbledd on it. I had the same issue and I had a body shop gin me up a replacement for this many years ago…then they put anti-rust agent on it and has been great for 15 years since I did that. -

good point if anybody has them it is Steve, but the body shop I was using rebuilt with stainless steel and has been very solid and wasn't much money to do.
