1303 german look build up

You can do your best to scrape it out from the engine bay (make a long scraper) then shoot some rust killer up in there.

Hi

Old coat hangers make good scrapers.

Hmmm, I thought I read something somewhere once upon a time that there was a solvent that basically dissolved the foam, and at that point one could inject rust-proofing, etc. Unfortunately, it ... was ... such ... a ... long ... time ... ago ...

I just don't remember where I read it.

I remember acetone but I am not sure if I recall correctly

Would like to know for sure because I really like to get rid of that stuff too. Few weeks back some of it caught fire when I was welding something. Lot's of smoke and a really bad smell. Think the fire got rid of most of it but I am not planning on using the same method on the other side......

hahahah... ya mine had some fires tooo! LOL. i was kinda worried cause i still have a full interior in my car...LOL! i had some water on hand just incase something went south.

UPDATE: so ive been workin on a friends car. im shaving the bumper on his 20th ann. golf gti. so i havnt had the time to really touch the super in a day or two. but by the end of the week i hope to be back on it again. i DID decide on a color tho.... Audi Nimbus Gray. i think it will look hott with smoked tails, black rims, and smoked front bumper turn signals. and ill be color matching the bumpers, headlight rings and door handels, bacially if its chrome, its gettin color matched! i want a super clean look! ive always had a thing that if its vw or audi... i only pick vw or audi paint codes... i know it matters nothing in selling it, but its just one of my nicks that i have. it doest matter if the color is a brand new color off a brand new audi/vw.. it just has to come outta the audi/vw book.

well.... FINALLY an update. sorry guys its been a while, but ive been super busy with working on OTHER cars, and getting my new shop up and running. BUT i now have some progress photos. good news is, now that i have my own shop, this car will REALLY be moving along now, cause i want it painted before winter hits. its fall now, but i think a good week of saning and body work, i can manage to get it painted.

well i was sooping around on ebay one night and saw a 914 gauge cluster up for grabs, so i bought it. now ive made it fit into my dash. lots of work, but i think it will turn out really cool. im inspriation for this mod was the RSI new beetle. but i feel i did it with still keeping the german look theme! the dash is still not done yet, but plans are to get it wrapped in suade with red stiching. enjoy the pics!
