Thanks guys you all gave me some great ideas , will be starting that soon. I think the grinder and wire wheel will be my first pick.
I need to replace the carpet on my 1990 Cajun . I think the carpet is original ..It is glued down good , any ideas to get the glue and carpet off with out wrecking the floor under it ( or least amount of damage ) would be great .. thanks guys

elbow grease and patience is how I got mine off.
tore up carpet...sat there with a heat gun and a scrapper for a full day.
I tried different chemicals and removers people suggested. All they did was make a stinky gooey mess.
I used a metal round brush on my drill and it worked great. Took it right off.
Angle grinder with a wire wheel. I tried the drill with the wire brush on it and it didn't work as well as the angle grinder
gonna start workin on mine next week i was thinking an angle grinder would work better.
for the lids i used an angle grinder with a layered sanding disc.only took about 5 mins per lid.
Rip off what you can and let this handle the rest.http://i541.photobucket.com/al...9.jpg
