What's the best way to remove it? I'm in the process of fixing up my mini. It needs tons of welding,so I started to strip out the interior today. I removed the rear cards and seats. On the inside of the rear wings is a sheet of bitumen sound deadening anti vibration stuff. I tried to chip it off but it's well stuck on. Any ideas?

I had to remove it from my floor and everywhere else
Was a pain in the ass
But I used a heat gun and something flat to scrape it off

Heat gun to soften it on the quarter panels. The floor will chip off with a decent scraper and hammer.

That's great,I will do that tomorrow. I'm lucky as my mini doesn't have it on the floor.

I found it easier when it was cold, around 10°C, it just chipped off with a hammer and chisel.

It was a bit colder than that today,and it was still like treacle. It also looks like it's slid down at some point as its nearly in the sill....or what's left of it.
