you stripped at 00 si? Damn

With a car like that, i would never gut it just for speed, a 3 or 4 year old car like that is basicly brand new. Anyway, search there are a few threads on in. I remember one being a air hammer with a chizzle attachment.

hehe Chizzle da interiozizzle, make your car look like wizzle, all for some fo shizzle

put dry ice all around the insulation, and leave it for about 10 - 20 minutes or until it freezes and cracks, then take a putty knife or something to scrap the hell of the smaller pieces off. It sounds wierd but works great. Takes some elbow grease....but what doesnt?!?!

Dry ice you can get at most craft stores or restaurants or something for fairly cheap. Goodluck man with whatever you decide to do.

BTW, if you do the ice trick, break it into alot of smaller peices and spread it everywhere you can

yea definently go with the dry ice, don't try torching the stuff off either, it won't work. And it is sure a damn shame you stripped that car, i won't strip my 94.
