[QUOTE="taylorsk8, post: 71785, member: 33"] Been finding some time here and there to work on the car. Pics tells all so here we go! Got the back half stripped down. Almost cleaned off. Still need to get astro vent doors out. Left seats in for pedal fitting.

Was easy on the drivers side due to improper bonding from a previous owner. looks like they just poured resin on the joint tot he firewall. no wonder it was sagging. Obviously needs some repairs.
