Eric,
Of course I have a GT6 that will never get rained in unless I leave the
windows open but I would think the floor pans are the same (or very similar)
as a Spitfire. My car has several large holes with rubber plugs that would
let water out if removed. Like wise they would let water in if the plugs
weren't in. Look around and you might find you ranting was for nothing.
