Harbor Frieght's $39 tool with a blade attachment (as was mentioned).
It makes quick work of it. Jamie mentioned it working well when cold. Temperature definitely plays a factor. Last one I did it was a Reno summer, and I found that a little heat from a heat gun released the adhesive (which runs in strings, not like a full coverage, so follow track of that as you go) and it peeled off in big chunks super fast. Surprisingly fast. Even just a wide scraper will work well with a heat gun or careful targeted use with a torch. Then a wire wheel to clean up the remains. Hope you find good metal under there. Pay special attention to what you find at the base of the firewall in the passenger seat corner. It gets crunchy there on most 914s.
