that caked on sound deadening has proved to be a bit of a b*tch to strip off...has anyone found an effective method of getting it off.

Just did it this weekend. A few hours with a heat gun and a scraper did the trick.

I reckon I pulled a lot more than 1.3Kg out of there! I'll have to weigh it all, mine had 2 layers in places, probably to hold the rust together!

At some stage you're going to have to make the car track legal too.

It takes a while to get your head around it but have a look at this http://www.camsmanual.com.au/

You'll probably have a lot more questions after you get through that little lot.

It's not as daunting as it first seems but you will need to be able to get your car to comply with it so it's useful to understand it.

General requirements for cars and drivers covers most of the stuff you'll need to do.

You'll get a hard copy of the manual when you apply for your licence.

Yeah, I used dry ice, let it freeze the tar mats , then gently tap the underside with a soft hammer...then vacuum out the crap, wash down with thinners will remove the last of the adhesive, maybe even some of the factory primer as well...
