Hi everyone,
Started today to remove some undercoating in the rear wheel arches, see picture...  When using a (blunt) chisel is comes of rather easily. Any advise on removing it in the corners of the arches…? Especially in the rear it is almost impossible to reach the far corners... I also found the foam in the rear of the panels near the rear lights (yellow circle). With a hook I'm picking it out. Any tips on doing this more easily…?  Till now I did not find any rust. The car is from 12/73 and 1.8 L-jet in olympic blue. |

That foam was ironically installed to prevent rust. It ended retaining water and causing rust.
I was able to remove it by cleaning off the top layer of sealant, then spraying it with carb cleaner. The carb cleaner dissolves it and it runs out the bottom. You will have to repaint in the fender if you do it that way. Clay |
