Great job Daniel, I'm impressed that you did it on your own and kept the costs so low!

With the interior out you may want to consider some form of sound and/or thermal barrier. It makes the car more comfortable to spend time in.

Well I restored my floor pans today. I think they came out nice. At least that nasty stinky smell is gone from 40 year old carpet and underlay.

I wire wheeled the parts that seemed a little rusty and coated with rustbullet, then painted flat black rust protection. Only found two tiny tiny pin holes that I had to use flash light to find. I'm going to use what you guys were talking about in another members thread.

I have new underlay and carpet on the way, should arrive before next weekend.

Oh yeah, those pans looks great Daniel. I checked out the before and after pics again and I'm truly impressed. Like I mentioned before, I'm a pretty big fan of POR-15 putty and paint but you have little to no work to do on those pans. Once again, that looks great. If you can find one, I recommend a full length console when you get everything back in. A guy in Stafford actually has a set of pretty decent Ginger seats and a full length console sitting in his garage for sale. I didn't need them but if you're interested in his contact info, hit me up.
