Restoring Original Floors
Clicking on the title to the left takes you to a large article I wrote for the 356 Registry Website.  It can be found in the Technical Articles section with the title "Restoring Original Floors".  The article is 22 pages long!!!​
​Below are some  areas where I have cleaned and restored (under hood, fenders and battery box) on Miss April.  I used the same techniques as outlined in the article.

Here is how it looked when I bought the car.....

I will undertake the bottom side of the floor in the future.  Good news is they are solid!  Here are some photos of the top side of the floors- after some cleaning I did.  Nice and solid!!  The brown color on the vertical walls (inner longitudinals) next to the floor is glue, not rust.  It is the left over glue from the carpeting.

I was able to restore and reuse the original "horsehair" underlayment on the floors.  I wrote about it in the Restoration- Blog section.  Here is a link so you can see what I did.
