hi just like some suggestions off you guys when I drive at 80 or over I get vibration from the floor , my tracking is ok wheels have been rebalanced tyres are ok with right amount of air in so I suppose it must be something that is worn ? theres no shaking in the steering wheel ,so any ideas ?

If you can't feel it through the wheel I would presume it's an issue with something at the rear.

Check exhsust
May be a mount
Or even wheel bearings

My money is on
- Tyres, sometimes 5 rebalances isnt enough
- Brakes might be warped slightly and catching
- Worn bush somewhere.

+1 tyres or wheels - need rebalanced or try another set of wheels on if you have

From my experience it looks a bit different.
If it's around 80mph and looks like somebody was under your car and kicking in the floor, all car is shacking instead of only steering wheel, you can almost hear like sunvisors hiting roof liner then your money will go for new driveshafts. You need to put your car on the ramp so it's still on wheels. Check inner CV joints for any vertical play (horizontal is normal) and also joint between intermediate shaft and CV joit (any movement is not acceptable)
Parts 5,6 and joint between 5 and 14 from this pic
