Starting the interior resto...

[Boss 351]

It's 99% out now, the front seats are there only until I make more storage room for the parts. It took me an hour to get the dash out, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Next the windshield is coming off and the rest of the crap behind the dash so I can make sure I get rid of ALL the rust and also to make sure it will never rust again (fix water leakage)...

I have some rust repairs to do

Oh and here's an engine bay pic lol

What was the water leakage problem? Heater core issue?

I have a water drainage issue I would like to fix. When I wash the car, water follows it's natural course of drainage. The problem is, is that is still sits in certain crevices and is starting to create some minor rust. We all know what happens with minor rust.

Damn, that's a nasty lookin floorpan... good luck with rust proofing it and fixing everything up... I was lucky to find no rust when I peeled back my carpet last year in my interior conversion

Sometimes it's nice when you can just rip everything out and start over right!

I plan on doing the same thing to my interior soon. Gonna replace every single broken trim peice and make sure everything is secured nice and tight. I want a basically "new" interior

Yup that's what I'm doing, I wish there wasn't any rust but I paid $3000 Canadian for this car so I can't complain...
