Let's tackle the innards now

Ok, we have the outside of the dish pretty clean and tight, now we aim our sights for the inside. If you've been following this project you will recall how much time and energy was spent getting the outside to shine. Well, the inside is even more difficult than the outside. See, the outside can always be washed and waxed and made to look like new fairly easy. But the inside is a more complex task. You can't just go in and treat the rust and holes without doing some major work. Just think about the seats and the carpet and the console; all have to be removed to access the inside. So your work here is more precise and takes patience and meticulous attention to detail to be done right. Take your time and cultivate this garden, your rewards will be great compared to the work you put in.

After replacing the small floorpan behind the passenger seat it is sealed with seam sealer. Every rusty looking spot is brushed with rust-sealer and the whole floorpan is prepped for spray-on bedliner. The trunk had underlayment that was glued to the metal so armed with a razor blades and a can of adhesive remover the trunk was prepped for the bedliner treatment.

Take a gander at the photogs and see that the floor is prepped and ready to be sprayed. Come back to see the rest of the interior come into shape. Slowly but surely we will get it done!
