So these are from yesterday (Jan 2nd)

This was not fun in anyway

Starting to tear the interior apart .

Carpet out

Steering removed..

Peace to the dash

Heater assembly core removed (20 lbs)

Next came the pedals

Now for the worst parts of the last day and a bit

Most of you know the type of sound detoning we have.... You have to shizzle it away and sand it down. No easy way to do this...

Started in one corner and worked my way..

Removed the fire wall matting (4lbs)

Getting there...

I grabbed an empty card board box to start putting all the scrapes in to weigh it at the end..

about to start the other side -_-

i can't even decide if a seat delete is to radical let aloe all you're doing its crazy.

So here is today's stuff...

I woke up this morning in rough shape... I feel like im 100 years old after these last few days Grabbed my double double and went to work.

Started on the driver side floor board first thing.


I kept telling my self how it will be worth it when it's all done

Sanded both sides down...

It was a freaken mess -_- I was covered in dust

Cleaned it all up.

So I wrapped the wire harness's with tin foil. Alot easier then masking tape on everything. Started spraying the primer

Layed down the Mineral Grey Paint

Finally clear coated...

So after spending the other half of my day spray painting with 6 coats total.... I was pretty beat from the whole interior job... that isn't done yet.

I left as the last coat of clear was layed down. Going to let it dry real good over night and tomorrow first thing... Start putting everything back (minus a few weight saving items) and install the ford racing 5.0 Control pack.

some of the strips near the front on the floor were ontop of rubbed caps so I left em.
