In Part 6 of my MK4 Supra restoration, I’m knocking out one of those jobs nobody’s excited about but everybody has to do before paint—getting the interior floor cleaned up and stripping the factory sound deadener. I’m using the dry ice method to freeze the material so it pops off instead of turning into a sticky, miserable mess. The whole goal here is simple: get the shell as clean and bare as possible so I’m not hiding rust, old adhesive, or junk under fresh paint. This is also the stage where I’m grabbing the last little pieces and details that always get overlooked—anything that needs to come off, be cleaned up, or be addressed before the car goes into paint. If you’re restoring an MK4, this is the part where being thorough pays off later, because once the car is painted you don’t want to be drilling, scraping, or “fixing” stuff that should’ve been handled now. It’s not glamorous, but it’s the difference between a clean restoration and a rushed one.
