Now as a big surprise to me the flooring in the beetle was still stock, And if you have never seen what VW used to noise deaden take a long look.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is a Tar with Styrofoam noise deadening thing that is glued or tarred to the pan, Now i gotta admit this stuff has done its job stopping any major rust, but through out the years water has gotten under it and just created surface rust.<\/p>\n

\"\"This stuff is a bitch to remove as you can see i have a chisel and a hammer and spent 4 hours or so removing every bit of this stuff from the drivers side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can see the surface rust but the pan is still basically stock black coated…. but wait whats that near the battery …<\/p>\n

Oh man thats a hole in the floor, i was like ahh crap does that mean a whole new floor pan, but luckily for me father is a boiler maker welder and just said ahh that’s just the battery acid eating through the floor after a bit of cleaning up we could see its only the hole the rest is solid.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My superior lamp and many tools that are really useful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next day i went out and bought a Air powered chissel this reduced the time it took to remove this stuff from 6 hours to a little over one hour.. and i really enjoyed that part \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Filled this bucket up several times \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Over all the pan is in great health, will get back to the hole patching later<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
