tar and aspodos
to remove you use steam and high pressure
or a heat gun and scraper and end up looking like erine dingo
you should be able to give it a real good degrease and reapply por or tar if you can find some

as in my projects topic for GTR I used an angle grinder with wire brush and sand blasted bits I couldn't brush,
very grotty and sandy when finished
local paint guy does my work cars gave me a can of spray stone guard and lent me a gun that screws onto it,
worked fine and looks good, painted with satin gm black

I didn't know the answer and my questions have not been fully answered,
doubt there is any asbestos used as there are no fibres in the compound
I don't what the stuff was I was given but it worked
maybe you should read things fully

G/day Limo
Only the front and rear wheel arches were sprayed with a Heavy Bituminous material for stone chip protection.
Also the inside of the door skins and the boot lid skin (but not the support frame) were coated with it.
AFAIK the underside of the floor pan and the firewall inside the engine bay were never sprayed with this Bituminous stuff.
Cheers

mine had a softer stuff on the firewall and trans tunnel, is this not original?
it also had the hard stuff on the wheel well side of front chassis rails
I also have LCs on the farm with the hard stuff on the underside of the roof
my problem was if is pitch or bituminous then it is it oil base and what will stick to it?
I was being lazy and didn't remove what was still there, after all it had been there for over 40 yrs so must be stuck well
have to wait and see now if this "gravi tex" as it is called does the job my painter said it would

Sorry, I forgot about the underside of the roof having the treatment as well.
I will venture to say the softer stuff that has been applied to your firewall and transmission tunnel is not original.
