Disassembly

I started taking it apart almost immediately. My original plan was to re-do the interior and touch up the marks on the body. I could see a few nicks and one area of rust. I also planned on detailing the engine compartment.

I found a mess under the carpet. Roofing tar and sheet metal covered the passengers floor. What a mess! The original metal was pitted pretty bad but it was also very solid. The padded dash was badly cracked and the carpet was shot. The seats had been recently recovered but the were in need of new foam. All of the interior panels were in very good shape.
