well mr. Jimmy Doofus Wong, the PO decided he wanted to put racing harnesses in the car....drilled holes thru the floor pans.....(never installed the harnesses!)
so being a masochist (let the work keep on piling up plz) i need to patch them....and do the POR 15 while in there. so- do i have my buddy weld some metal in there? or just epoxy some crap over the hole? |

heat gun ...
warm it up (not too much, you don't want it floating around), then just scrape it off, it comes off in big chuncks. then, if you want, use brake cleaner to clean up the glue leftovers ... Andy |

How about some rubber plugs, in case you DO later decide for a harness. A bit of black RTV, and they'll be water-tight.
