Interior tidyup part one

Having stripped the entire interior, I spent most of Saturday afternoon scraping the meltsheet (a layer of tar poured onto the floor to provide soundproofing) from the floorpans of the Alfa.

Much to mine (and a lot of Alfa sceptic associates) I didn’t find any unexpected rust at all on either the driver’s floorpan or the rear pan directly behind it - not even by the floor mounted pedals where muddy and wet boots go - not bad at all for a 35 year old italian car. Not bad at all.

Next step is to strip the passenger side pans and wipe the whole lot down with thinners - then it’s on with a primer coat and a few coats of satin gray (to match the roll cage) using my new 50l air compressor to drive the spray gun.

Thanks to Dave lending me his compressor earlier this month to clean some engine bits I’ve invested in a compressor to convert all of my garage to air drive - impact wrench, sprayers, air drills… Oh dear I can see me spending quite a bit on tools in the coming months as air power is addictive!
