I lifted the mat that was in there because I was going to build some panels/carpet the trunk for better sound/stereo quality; turns out that magnet mat holds water pretty badly so over time some surface rust has developed. I grabbed a wire wheel and lifted most of it but as I was doing it I noticed that the guys that spatter painted the inside of it painted over a couple of prior holes (all the way through the pan) and some substantial pre-existing pitting. Seems pretty likely that this problem isn't new to the car.
Think it's worth the headache? I could just climb in the trunk and have my wife shoot it with a hose until I find the leak, patch it, hit the trunk with some POR 15, build my new panels and call it a day. It's just that the floor itself is cheap; it's $80.00 from Rick's Camaro and if the labor's 6-8 hours, I gotta figure the whole job can be done for $500-$600 pretty easily. I wouldn't think it would take a terribly long time to remove the fuel tank, cut out the old pan, put in a new one and then strap the fuel tank back on.
