Interior Paint Strip December 07

I decided to strip the footwell floorboards to bare metal as they were the only area with serious rust. I ended up stripping the entire interior, go figure.

The floorboards have already been stripped by now,

couldn't find any pictures of that. This is work being

done on the driver's side foot well in the area of the

accelerator petal.

The forward part of the passenger side foot well done

except for sanding. It was really, really tedious and difficult

work in these areas.

Passenger side foot well again, this time showing the

firewall and part of the plenum. You can see the the red

primer coat here as well as the black seam sealer which

was used quite liberally through out the entire car. I have

admit the seems to have worked very well, it just looks

really bad.

You can see part of the floorboard here as well as the

foot well.

The firewall area just under the plenum has been stripped

here.

Yup, I even stripped underside of the top of each foot

well.

The area behind the seats, the differential bridge and

drive shaft tunnel everything was stripped using Jasco

chemical stripper and a lot of elbow grease. I evenually

had to buy a one gallon can!

Another shot of the same area, again very little rust.

A close up the diff area, note the boot just visible here,

I eventually got in there too.

This is about a month later, stripping is complete!

The rear area, complete.

And the drive shaft tunnel.

The floor boards again, from the other side.
