As I continue the refurbishment of my '74 914, I notice that the floor pan inside the car has some kind of a 3/16" protective coating. Parts of this have chipped away. Does anyone have a substitute application to patch and restore the floor pan?

I hate to ask but does anyone know what the "tar" consists of?
Has anyone had it tested? In my industry tar coating is usually asbestos. Asbestos is added for strength and corrosive protection. I can't imagine they would've needed asbestos in the mix, but it was the 70s. I'm guessing I'm going to catch hell for this question but my concern isn't so much for me as it is for you and your family members (who am i kidding, actually i am concerned for me too). Steve |
