Leave the car out in the sun for a day or two and the sound-deadening will just crack away and peel off which is great as the glue comes away with it too and doesn't leave any residue or anything behind only nice clean paint.... oh wait, it's Ireland

Spilling brake-fluid helps alot too in removing it funnily enough as I found out once unintentionally.

Usual way I do it is just get it soft with the heat gun and just peel it off with a scraper.
Then use thinners to clean off the shit thats left behind afterwards.


Its a clean looking 323i! Change the waterpump and stat before you do any hard driving with it anyway as if the alloy engine cooks, its pretty much scrap. Some of the early ones had a plastic impeller pump too that used slip on the shaft which wasn't good but you can get metal impeller versions from most good motorfactors or from the likes of Barrysmotorsport on here.


Looks like a very straight shell though

Nice enough colour too really
