I am hoping all the dirty jobs are finished now – the dusty headlining is out. All of the bitumen and hessian mess has been stripped from the floor inside.

This took an age, using a heat gun and scraper. I tried paint stripper on parts but this did not work that well. Baby wipes after one heat wiped it to clean shiny metal but this was tough, so as this will all be covered with sound proofing and carpet I decided I did not need to strip this to shiny metal and a good coating of paint protection will suffice.

I do need to hoover and suck out all the dust everywhere else though and wipe it all down spotless or maybe I will call the wife back in 😆

The cord rope that surround the doors for the trim has been removed as well – this was a tough job and I was replacing it thinking it did not look that secure in the grooves. But it took an hour a door to remove including all the nails they used.
