What's everyone's take on this stuff? I'm putting a new carpet set in, so now is the time if I'm going to tackle it. Is this a must do type of job?...
It looks pretty good on the outside, but, of course, I've no idea what it looks like underneath.  |

It looks pretty good on the outside, but, of course, I've no idea what it looks like underneath. If the topside of the floor were all looking clean & rust free, with no other evidence of inside water intrusion & rust, then I'd say that you could leave the tar in place. However, in your pic I see rust under the driver's seat near the tunnel & a couple of other places - so you'd probably be safer to strip the tar, deal with any rust, prime with Wurth or Eastwood Zinc Rich Primer (serveas as localized hot dip zinc does on newer Porsches - zinc becomes sacrificial metal to water/rust before the steel/repair-patches/etc.), then do an epoxy prime & repaint to body color; & then replace with either an AA floor tar kit (or cut your own from sheet - tar gets painted over, as you can see, but zinc & epoxy primer is under), or Dynamat, etc. Heat gun & scraping seems to be the most successful wa to remove, & is in the factory repair manuals as such too IIRC. PS - IMHO - strip the entire floor & sides/longs, F & R firewalls inside then too - anywhere that you can see possible rust & can reach, & treat,prime, paint as one job. Good Luck!
