Progress. Got the carpet trimmed (I didn’t enjoy this) Seatbelts bolted in. Cabin to trunk insulation in. I also decided to remove the headliner and install sound deadener, which caused some grief. I bent the metal trim near the windshield removing it. Man, those clips are stubborn! Also, the factory roof insulation had basically disintegrated. I’m glad I had the forethought to lay a blanket down over the interior.
The big success was getting my rear axle bushings installed. I did this with a ball joint press. Yes, it’s a pain in the ass. I’m happy to have saved the 40$ By not buying the MM tool though. I also installed a MM pinion snubber while I was down there. Next step is to keep going on the reassembly of the interior. Then fuel line, rear
suspension, and finally the exhaust!
