'89 Comp stringer project A to V (Not quite to Z)
I am the proud original owner of this 1989 TS6M Comp. After patching a couple of floor spots and frequent visits to this form, I decided to take on the stringer project. Many thanks to all of the members who have posted to this site. The information I found here was invaluable and inspirational. I hope I can be of some help in return.

Remove seats and windshield. Don't forget the screws behind the carpet. DSC_0048.jpgDSC_0047.jpgDSC_0051.jpg

The stringers are in pretty good shape but the floor/deck is toast, especially under the drivers seat.DSC_0061.jpgDSC_0062.jpgDSC_0063.jpgDSC_0066.jpg

I used an air powered cut-off tool from Harbor Freight to cut through the fiberglass along the edges of the floor. I also used it to cut out the old stringers. Probably the best $8.00 I have spent.DSC_0069.jpgDSC_0070.jpg

Time for foam removal. The foam holds water as you can see here, especially in the 'doghouse'. I decided not to replace it.
