two questions
 

ok first off , I prepping my 84 gs for a paint job and cant for the life of me figure out how to get the glue / double sided tape off of the car (stuff under the rubber strips) and was curious how or what to use to get it off without doing damage

and Im having trouble deciding what seats to put in

original or racing , which is more compfortable

peace

if you're going to be racing the car for real on a track, buy racing seats. If not, stock should be fine.

As for the sticky stuff, maybe try goo-gone.

a sharp razor works wonders, cuts it like butter and if for some reason you nick or scratch your paint it won't matter because you mentioned that you are getting a pait job done, right? :)

the only reason I ask is the pivot point on the back of the seat broke and I have to replace the seat anyway

I have been snapping blades left and right with this method and I have only cleaned the front fender and half of the door.

thanks for all the suggestions though (Ill try the "goo gone" tonite and assist with more blades)

I have a Corbeau Forza in my car... search for the thread I posted about it a while back.

If you decide to go that route, try out some seats before you commit to dropping the cash.

Pros: holds you in place like never before, free to concentrate on driving since you don't slide in your seat, looks fantastic - everybody compliments you about it

Cons: expensive, some think they are uncomfortable (although I love it), very tight fit with the door panel, much harder to get in and out of than normal seats (again, you get used to it)

thanks for all the info silverrocket

Um, if you are repainting the car, why not just scrap off as much as you can and sand the goo off?

Try Goo Gone. Can pick it up at Wal Mart, or most autoparts stores.
