And so it begins...

And so begins the process of dismantling the car.  The plan is to strip it down to its shell and begin the bodywork.  The logical place to start the disassembly is the interior.  Since water had been getting in for years, the interior was very moldy, not to mention the other components were just wore out.

Probably due for a refresh

Also, I wanted to get a better idea of how bad the floors were.  I knew there were holes on the drivers side, but didn't know how extensive.  At the very least, I would have to remove the seats and carpeting to know.  Because of the mold and mildew, I used a respirator to get all of this stuff out.

As you can see, there's not much left to the driver's side floor.  

The driver's side was actually a little better than expected.  Of course, pretty much everything on this side will need to be replaced from the transmission tunnel outward.  The rest of the removal was pretty straightforward.  No big surprises here, but the interior has certainly seen better days.  

Whats left after removing the rear seat and shelf.
