ok, I did the passenger side floor pan today after I got off work, before sundown(need more lights in the garage), removed all the tar(about 2 1/2 hours, a heat gun and a putty knife)
there is some funky "glue" looking stuff under the tar paper... what gets this off? aircraft paint stripper did nothing to it... there is a little rust along the horizontal support... where the tar met the weld... the area is very small, and doesn't extend "up" onto the cross piece... how should I fix this? I'm thinking of rust killer, and then weld in a little angle-piece for extra support... is this ok, or do I need to cut all of this and weld in a new piece ? here are a few pics, there are more in the BLOG, please give me your opinions...

yea, I should have done the center tunnel last year before installing the new engine... I had planning on the car beconming a driving-resto, but that didn't happen...
other than the front and rear access panels(which I don't have covers for (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) ) what is the best way to get in there? also, can the fuel lines be changed with the engine in? I figure while I'm in there... may as well. I'll also change the accel and clutch cables and fix any broke cable holds... on the drivers side... does the pedal cluster need to be removed to get all the shitty tar up? I had a 30 minute discussion with my wife last night... even she can't understand why they would put something semi-porus down as a protectant... knowing rust could occur... I just said "well, they weren't thinking 30 years ahead, I guess" although I really only see rust on the one edge... so, I'm not complaining... I've heard the stories of pulling up the tar and the metal coming too... in rust flakes |
