Today I've taken all the sound deadening off the roof, finished the sealer round the boot and wheel arches yesterday. Roof etc wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Material on it wasn't too thick so didn't take much heat to make it soft enough to scrape off. In saying that my right arm is aching now, not used to this manual work being an office worker..

First one of 5 slabs coming off, when the car goes for it's rollcage will get the orbital sander out and clean all that off prepping it for paint.

I've had a quick weigh in of all I've removed so far, about 8kg there in sound deadening..

I haven't done that yet as I need to cut away the panel with the speaker in it. This is a job that needs to be done anyway, as it's not needed and will be replaced with a nice shiny fibreglass panel. Offside has been cut away to allow repair of the rear quarter, but this still needs to be tidied up a bit yet.
