Matthew has done a fantastic job of taking the interior out of the car.  My job was to scrub down the floor, as Rick really was not crazy about working on the wiring under the dash if the floor of the car was still covered in the reminders of the rodents that have lived in the car over the last 20 years. 

I can understand that.

Besides, we have new carpet and new undercarpet padding to put down.
Besides....it smelled.  Bad.  I mean, it smelled BAD.

So...today, armed with the necessary stuff, I pulled out a few drain holes (only the ones I really needed), and washed the floor. These are pictures of it after.

I had to remove the last seat in the car - the driver's seat, to do so, and was hoping the build sheet would be there, but it wasn't.  I did take a shot of the door plate, which I hadn't until today.

Click on any image to enlarge.

Last shot of the day - just because it reminded me that I will again drive this car one day.
