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?

If you don't want to to use an adhesive backed sound sheet for fear of water entrapment, consider something like Spectrum or Spectrum Sludge
http://store.secondskinaudio.com/spectrum/ I used Spectrum on a VW Bug pan over 10 years ago and it's still going strong. I used a brush to apply multiple coats after I had completed all rust repairs and primed the pan. Definitely got rid of the tinniness of a bare metal pan. |

Spectrum? Ok, I'll look into it. The tar has held up well. Since reading all of these posts, I've taken samples off and have found just clean, bare metal. I guess I'm lucky.
I appreciate all of the feedback and dialogue, everyone. I'm new to 914World.
