Next i moved on to stripping out the interior. All the seats were removed first, these are in good condition just a tear in the usual place on the back seat. I will be recovering the seats myself. Not exactly sure what i'm going for yet but i have some ideas but you will have to wait and see.
Next I took out the carpet and rubber matting. The carpet is in ok condition, the one behind the back seat is in great condition so might be re-used but the main carpet will be replaced.
The floor is looking good. There is a few bits of surface rust on the floor pan that should clean up ok. There is a bit of welding needed on the rear wheel well that has gone through.

Next I took of all the little bits and pieces, seat belts, gear gaiter, grab handles, sun visors etc. Gear gaiter went in the bin but everything else is good. The sun visors will be recovered.
I took the door cards off, again these are fine, the front ones i don't think have ever been taken off. I am going to cover these as i did with my last car, again i have ideas for these but you will have to wait and see.

| Door cards off, plastic never been off before |
A check of the usual bottom of the door showed no rust in the bottom of the doors, pretty good considering they are 40 years old. Everything so far indicates a very well looked after car.

| Inside the bottom of the doors, no rust :-) |
So that was a long day but got a lot done and really pleased with how it is coming along
