I soaked the coolant out with newspapers. LOTS of newspapers over a LONG period of time. Put newspapers between the carpet and the body. When the newspapers get soaked, replace with dry ones. Repeat over and over again for many months.

Hey Kinosh, Did your floor board get messed up/ corroded?

I had no problems. Iapplied the newspapers immediately and kept at it for months until the carpets were completely dried. I'm sure that helped minimize any damage.

Alright then

heater core should come in tomorrow from Auto Parts Warehouse (150$, free shipping) and I'll take pictures & make up a "how-to" (or "how-not-to") to post.
