<x-charset iso-8859-1>I used the silver POR-15 on the floorboards of this Golf race car I'm putting together. As long as you get any scaly rust off you'll be fine. You can also get the POR-15 off...with a grinder. We had to remove some to weld the rollcage in, and my chassis builder was none too happy... I definitely plan on POR-15ing the inside of the pan on my Fastback. BTW, is it possible to remove the tar boards in one piece? Or should I be looking for something to use in its place?
