The rear seat part came off with hardly any help of the heat gun,and in three big chunks.

Was a bit messy,the main thing i lernt was dont get it too hot,as it can burn your skin :roll:

Well i was shoked though just how heavy it all came to,with the red,tar style matting and sound deadning it all added to..

iv just fixed mine in that same spot, ummmm

check where the steering coloum goes though the bulk head :wink:

[sh0rty]

lol me and kev ripped all this stuff out not so long ago. I too was pretty amazed at when all put together, how much it weighs :o

[Stuart]

the Mk1 dash weighs 10Kg (fairly bare)
heater matrix is another 10Kg + 1Kg for water
there is 2Kg in seat mounts to removed

loads more to get out of that you fat get lol

[boredbloke]

get a 6 year old to drive it they weigh about 3/4 stone

that way it'll be plenty less!

my sound deadening is much thicker than that! and it covers alot more area too!

Good stuff, I ripped all mine out when the heater matrix decided to piss the carpet wet through :evil:

Quick question, when you valver'd it did you weld the bay because I cant see any penatration through the bulkhead :|

[nova---chris]

And here was me thinking that scott had actually lost some weight!
Hmm try the atkins diet mate!

lol

Good weight loss there matey :D Now get that roof lining off!

[Dod]

Good work mate. I often wondered how to get that stuff out. Any disadvantages to it though?


With regards to the rust, my old dad used to say, "Fock rust, fock the bast4rding stuff, its focking focking sh1t, the focking stupid focking thing i focking hate it!!!" And he was right. He's getting help now...... :D

[boredbloke]

yeah u thought novas were noisy before......

[Ste_Nova]

there is more under the spare wheel

[SRlew]

does it make it loads louder or just a little?? :lol:

[boredbloke]

I'd say loads but then it depends on how good all the seals are on your car anyway!

[Dod]

Noisey, eh? Would suit my Rally theme well then so!! I've got 2 chequer plates, 2 Recaro Bucket Seats and 4 points, a steering wheel, hand brake and a gear lever and thats it. Its a mental sound when you cross loose gravel and hear it rattling off the floor!! :D

[scott.parker]

Yet to get time (and it keeps raining) to fit the seats back in,im not fused about noise as its not my everyday car,plus with my TB's going in i think i wont hear much els :lol:

lol wandered on how you get those damn things off lol

[Dod]

Got mine out, really easily too thanks to a huge built up of condensation. Under the rear seats and the boot to do now. He he, might chance a bag of chips tonight after loosing that much weight today.

Theres a little plastic pin you push out then the whole plastic thing slides off.
