It seems like the oil pan on these cars are pretty fragile, Does anyone know if you can get metal skid plate to help protect against braking the oil pan.

You could also get one here. Some people are partial to one or the other, but both are good. I run a panzer plate and its already paid for itself saving my oil pan more than once.

 

Sweet, Thanks for the responses guys. I Just bought this car, the morning after I got it home I noticed some oil spots on my garage floor. When I looked under the car it was easy to see where the leak was coming from. Almost the entire bottom of the oil pan covered in JB Weld.

I just bought an oil pan from a salvage yard for $ 25.00 and $15.00 for the gasket. Thats probably less than what that guy spent on JB Weld
