Interior Advice on an Original 914-6, .......Cleaning up surface rust in the pans Options

[Mr.242]

I have Three questions for this thread:

1) What products, through experience, have shown to be the best in stopping surface rust and/or sealing?

2) There is TAR from the factory under the carpet. What types of products could be used instead of factory TAR? i.e.; Line-X, straight paint, sound mat, or stay with factory TAR?

3) Who has the Best to Adequate carpet replacement kits out there?
What experience with vendors and/or recomendations......please

I am tearing into and removing all the old worn and destroyed carpeting. I have come across some surface rust and flaking TAR. I would like to seal it up and set up some sort of barrier. There is NO major rust. Right now I am brass brushing it and shop vac'ing it out. Cleaning up nicely, but will need some protection.

Direction: I don't see me in the concours class with this car. I have a love of driving and plan on AX and Track days....as well as the car events such as WCR!

Just want to get some feedback on products that are out there. I read the threads on the electrical panel and see that there is a ton of experience that I can tap into! Oh yea...Don't make me the sheep on this one! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

My gut was telling me to keep the SIX original as possible, and I see that is the direction most are saying. Phew and THANKS.

POR-15 keeps coming up and I have heard both sides; good and bad for that stuff.

Carpet kits will probably be one of the last things, but much needed.

I am following my Bro and keeping EVERYTHING I find in this car. It may look useless to me now, but in a few years of experience it could be the one piece of something that I NEED. I have a small zip lock of misc. items I found laying on the floorboard and in the trunks, i.e. rubber pieces/gaskets/screws..... Who knows, right?

Any more info or advice out there?

How about experience with POR-15........someone said IF you use it right? I have never used it, read about it. What lessons have been learned?

Thanks,
MR.242
