My floors look good, little surface rust around the e brake area but no rust after that.
How do i get the glue off?
My dad and i have already tried paint thinner and it didn't seem to work.
Also should i leave the hole plugs alone they are not rusty.

Related to the tar removal question:

Would it be a good idea to put sound dampening material (dynamat type) in the lower portions of the floor-pan?
Would it do enough to dampen sound, while also making the floor more flat?

My floor tar is already removed, just wondering before I finish my interior out with paint and carpet.

I'll go against the grain here and recommend replacing the floor. You are already building a rotisserie, and isn't Restoration Design just a few blocks away from you? Hit them up, perhaps they have seconds they are willing to sell you.

Timothy - I think his floor is pretty much rust free.

What did you see, Timothy? I'm listening, but I don't see anything that needs major replacement? As far as removing the goo, I'd use a wire wheel on a grinder. A little muscle and done.

I saw nothing. This kid has nothing but time on his side before he's able to get licensed. He's a big kid that's still growing. With that said, if he happened to score new floor pans, he could then drop the floor to maximize interior real estate for this growing boy. This way he will never out grow the car.

Yes the floors look real good, slight surface rust in a few spots, but no pitting. He'll clean them right up but no on replacing, he has bigger fish to fry.
He needs the money for the RD panels in other areas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

xylene or goof off works really well at getting the adhesive off, but will remove some of the paint also

I was in the same place with a 914 in the past. Just cleaned the floors really well, removed the surface rust, primed and painted with an oil based paint and added dynamat on the interior leaving the "channels" in the floor open. (So if moisture got down there it could dry out)

I have a McCulloch steamer that I use to clean under the car, found it works great at softening up the tar and then scrap.
