    Ok so know i am getting a little ahead of myself but what are the best chemicals to use to remove the original rust protection on the underside of the floor pans. Thought i would try a little patch while the rear is in the air. Guessing it going to take awhile to get it all removed. Also from others experience what is are best tool to use,

    1) paint scrapers
    2) drill with steel wheel
    3) baby angle grinder with steel wheel
    4) bosch or similar multi tool with necessary attachments
    5) heat gun
    7) plenty of elbow grease
    6) all the above ?

    Thought i would try it while waiting for my brother to give me a hand to remove the engine and gearbox, looks like it will be a couple weeks before he can spare some time to help. He is an ex porsche mechanic which is a major help as i can also use his tools, he reckons it will only take about 2 hrs to remove gear box and engine.

    I will then need to focus a bit more on the dolley or rotisserie which will gives me best access to the floor pans etc.

    Just a thought has anyone heard of a dry ice blaster in Australia as apparently it works very well to remove the rust protection on the floor pans.
