take up all the tar? are you crazy? i worried some off the edges near the the inner longs, and it was good metal. some issues will be lived with. if i do not draw the line somewhere and get this thing on the road, i will be geoff's punching bag and will not be able to show my face at anything porsche related.

What he said. The low spots, like in the channels, probably are
rusted. Also I don't know why there's so many spots on the
sides of the longs. I can't relate since my tar wasn't painted
except on the floor.

Unfortunately I don't have any "before tar removal" pictures, but here is what I found afterwards on my "rust free" car.

My floors looked nice like yours. Surprise. Luckily it's just surface rust. Treated it with the POR system. Marine Clean, Metal Prep, and POR-15.

And yes, it took about 40 hours to do it!

Good luck!

Heat gun, putty knife, patience.

Then a solvent to clean up the traces.

I think everyone has already said what I would have said.

I'd remove the tar. Oh wait, I did.

That's what I'll be doing this weekend. Is putty knife best because it flexes?? I picked up a metal scraper that looks more like an ice scraper. It's got a blunt surface, as well as a hooked edge (like a bottle opener) for getting hard to reach places.

Forty hours?? Has anyone ever tried fire? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif)

It takes 2 hours to pull the tar up with a heat gun in one hand and 3 inch wide puddy knife in the other. I can strip the center tunnel in 15 minutes. The key is heating the tar paper evenly and following behind your heat gun with the puddy knif while the paper is just the right temp. Too hot and its gooey... too cold and it breaks apart into small annoying pieces.
