Kind of a boring update. I started working on cleaning up the interior and removing the rust on the cage. I had removed the bulk the factory sound-deadening tar in '07, and I'm attempting to complete the job now. It took 4 hours to clean the floor forward of the bins. I used mineral spirits and scotch-brite pads and a whole lot of elbow grease.
Tomorrow I'm going to finish cleaning the hatch area and buy some primer for the cage. I thought about painting the interior at the same time as the body, but I decided against it. I'll likely just spray paint the cage either silver or maroon.
Before:
After:
Once I knock this out, I think I'll start on the body work. I could still paint it before fall.
Note to self: Move the driver's seat down and to the right. My head is too close to the roll bar.
