I did this on my 67 TR4A that was also coated all over the inside of the
engine compartment (Inner fenders, wheel arches, bulkhead etc.). I used a
B&D Heat gun to soften up the goop, scraped it off with a series of plastic
wipers, knives, etc. and then wiped out the remaining bits with paint
thinners. Just be careful, the goop gets very hot and could flame if you
are not careful and NEVER work with the thinners and the heat gun at the
same time.
Cheers
