Hey folks,

I've currently got the carpets, most of the sound deadening, etc. out of my 1974 W115 and noticed in the passenger footwell some of the dreaded rust marks. I'm not a welder myself, so I wanted to look into getting things fixed.

Seems that behind the sound deadening in the engine bay, moisture has got in, become trapped, and started to rust away the bulkhead. See image:



If I wanted to remove the deadening myself, is it just a case of tearing it away and disregarding or can I potentially reuse? Or would it be safer to throw it away to not allow for further damage in the future.

Any advice would be grearly appreciated

Thanks!
