Stripped interior but...
Ok everyone, since I was bored last weekend I stripped the interior...back seats, passenger seat, carpet, sound deadening, trunk, spare tire...but I have a problem...I cant seem to get the tar off of the body and their is mold on it which for the life of me will not come up...any suggestions on the mold/tar removal?
|
dry ice
|
Run it over it or what...sorry dont mean to sound stupid here...I know I will need a scrapper...but what should I do with the ice?
|
You freeze the tar so it's easier to scrap off.
|
That is what I figured, just wasnt sure if their was something specific I needed to do with it. Thanx alot.
|
that glue stuff that is on the seams????
if that's what you talkin about, then you might wana replace it after you remove it. it will help keep the floor pans water tight.. trust me. i made that mistake, and had the nerve to wonder where all the water was comming from after late night practice sessions in the rain:notify: |
Yeah, well gotta fix the damn sunroof first, and since I really cant seem to find the parts for under 500 bux, that may be a while. But yeah, I planned on replacing it before I put carpet down...and upon the suggestion of a few close friends/tuners, possibly dynamating it as well.

And if you think I should keep the old stuff in, what can I do to get that mold out? I tried 50/50 bleach/water and ALOT of scrubbing to no avail.

Originally posted by StanBo Ok you just stopped me from getting rid of the tar. I did get rid of the plastic covered wool material. It looked like candy shelled crap. so dont be discouraged. the effort will pay off. you will lose about 45-60lbs depending on how far you take it. you can take out the padding and vynal/tar type stuff under the dash along the firewall too. that stuff is heavy.. and dont forget to take off the panels behind the doors(where the seatbelt things are) and get that tar out... there is tons of it. damn i miss my car:tear: |
While I am at it, I need to get the automatic seat belts out...anyone have any instructions how to do this?

I found an instruction site a while back...showed how to replace them with normal seat belts from non automatic cars...cant find that site anymore though.
|
This may be a dumbass question, but by removing all that foam padding and insulation stuff, won't the interior noise level increase dramatically? Engine noise, road noise, etc. Or is that not a consideration for what you're trying to accomplish?

My worries about the noise were minimum, but I have considered it and that is why I mentioned I will likely be dynamatting the floorboards. This should help for heat and sound deadening.
