Project 240K

Managed to get a day off work today,

so spent the day sitting in the shell, chipping off the factory applied underbody deadener out of the foot wells on the car.  Easiest method was with a small thin chisel and a hammer until direct sunlight on the deadener started to make it a bit gooey.  Managed to chip of all the drivers side, and half of the passenger side, revealing a little surface rust on the bare metal underneath where water had obviously gotten under pockets of the deadener sheets.

Also tried chipping off the black deadener mat from the inside of the firewall, man that is stuck on well! could only chip off the areas that had a bubble from the formed metal underneath, anywhere flat looks like it is stuck on there for good! i did find a large pocket of water and a bit of surface rust in the centre “X” stamping below the mat though.. obviously it made its way there after the pressure cleaning from the week before.
