Just finished pulling out the carpet, quite pleased with the condition of the floor.

Driver side, some minor surface rust.

Todays update, got the vinyl roof removed 

This is the row of nuts securing the front trim piece on the Landau roofs.

Kitty being ever so helpful.

Had a little mouse issue at one time.

Vinyl gone, now to remove the padding

Can someone buy a 45 gallon drum of "Goo-B-Gone"?

Gratuitous engine pic.

I'm trying to lower the window with no battery in the car. If I hook ground up to the door and touch Pos (+) to one of these wires feeding the window motor you would think it would operate, but it doesn't :(

Thanks for the info, I'll try that tomorrow.

OK, another question. I searched thru the repair manual and didn't find the answer. After removing the bottom row of screws, are there any other hidden ones or does this red gauge surround just pop off?

And another dilemma. It's still the original windshield in good shape (no cracks). I would like to remove it for paint but fear it getting cracked. What are some opinions on here about this?
