Hi Guys,

I've torn out most of the interior now. There were a few surprises but not quite as bad a I thought they could be.

1. I will have to learn how to do a little welding, the floor pan is all rusted out. I inspect welding all the time at work though so at least I know what it should look like and what is wrong if it looks different than expected. I peeked under the carpet (front seat not out yet) and floor looks ok.

2. One of the studs on the rear upper passenger door panel ripped out. I will need to repair it I guess.

3. Just realized that I already have electronic ignition. Was thinking it was points for some reason. This is good and bad, because I was hoping to upgrade the ignition in a major way for cheap. Turns out points are not among my issues.

As you can probably tell I am no expert. We shall see how this goes!

Not sure if pictures are uploading right?
