So the time has come to renew the interior of my favorite car. Overall, the interior of this car is in decent shape, but there are so many things I wish to do to the interior. So here are a few photos...

The tar removal took about 2-3 hours. Some came off very easily, and some not at all. I used and air chisel for some of the really stuck parts.

Kids should always wear masks and gloves. Too late to save us adults but no reason for kids to inhale fibers and dust. Gloves because kids tend to touch their face and mouth with bare hands before they wash.

Don't worry, he washed his hands afterwards, during, etc. I did the heavy stuff.

So here was the worst of it. Overall the pan was in good shape, but there were a few holes under the passenger seat.

Ok, and here we have found a stress fracture on the longitudinal. Driver's side, just forward of the e-brake depression.

To replace the sound deadening tar, I purchased a roll from Raamaudio. I ended up putting three layers down.

OK, so I decided to repaint the interior. Most of it will be covered with carpet, but, well, I like painting.

So this is what happens. I get off work at 6, spend two hours preparing, start painting and it gets dark!

Did you treat the rust or just paint POR15 over it? Hopefully you sanded most of that rust away and applied a converter before hand for good measure.

BTW, I love the color you've chosen for the car, btw. Looks fantastic with the 5 lug Fuchs.
