Holy F#*kin Shit!!!
 

Damn! So as most of you know when I bought my L7 the heater core was bad... so I pulled it and replaced with a new one, yadda yadda yadda. Now I went and pulled the original carpet and sound insulation... FUCK! It stinks worse now than it did when everything was in it and reaked of antifreeze! Smells like a combination of rotting corpse, ass, and vomit! I have to pull the console again to get the last of the carpet and foam... does anyone know what I could use to get that stench out of the car? I assume it rotting foam since the previous owner didn't have enough pride in his car to get it taken care of, and not to mention when I pulled everything the foam was black and falling apart.

Also... the 1/4" thick black 'matting' that is in the center of the foot areas infront of all the seats - should I scrape that off and replace it(thinking a THIN layer of rhino lining or line-x or something of the sort to seal the steel up and protect from rust... that shit's heavy.)

Lastly, I need new insulation... I noticed parts of it were upwards of almost 2" thick (if not more), like right next to the inner kick-panels up front. If anyone knows of a scrap car that's dry I can pull the foam from (of they can pull and ship - I'll reimburse/pay in advance - for shipping plus labor of getting the foam and any other associated costs)?

Thanks SSSOOOOOO much in advance everyone!

I wish you all the luck in the world! Wow!

you can try www.car-part.com

the problem is that the insulation padding for my car is no longer manufactured... :(

well what you do is look for parts near that area, and if you find a junkyard that has them, give them a call and see if they are willing to rip otu that piece of foam for you... and u dont need OEM btw, its just any random insulation im sure you can find even padding from anothe rbimmer that will fit urs

when I went to the site that's what I thought... the foam is a bitch to get out, but will be nice if I can find some in good shape. Thanks for the link xsperf, I'll start callin in the morning.

have you checked ; www.stockinteriors.com ? You might be surprised under carpet

Just go to a home supply store, like home depot and get carpet insulation. You could just fit it to the front.
