As I continue the refurbishment of my '74 914, I notice that the floor pan inside the car has some kind of a 3/16" protective coating. Parts of this have chipped away. Does anyone have a substitute application to patch and restore the floor pan?

It's basically a tar pad. They are known to have hidden and even promoted rust by holding water. Others have used Dynamat, and Home depot actually has the material inexpensively. The question is do you want to put it back in, once you have removed it.

Thank you. Luckily, the car is pretty rust free amazingly enough. So, I thought re-establishing it would be a good thing. It appears that it was applied right over the bare metal and then the stock/original paint applied over it. Do you know what was used in the areas where the floor met the side walls?

QUOTE(dgraves @ Oct 15 2016, 01:54 PM) Do you know what was used in the areas where the floor met the side walls? Factory seam sealer. Lots and lots of factory seam sealer. Taking out that tar board is a worthwhile but time-consuming project. I think getting that stuff out of the car is a good idea. As Mark said, you can put something in its place for sound dampening (like dynamat). Do a search here for tarboard threads and you'll see how people handled removing this stuff and what they did (or did not do) to replace it. I remember Scotty advising to put dynamat (or something similar) except in the low spots on the pan where water could collect. |
