Upcoming paint job and rust repair in the near future needs the interior removed. I know what I'm getting into here.
I've had everything else apart, so this is the last of crazy things I need to do......
I'll need lots of advice so chime in if you have gone down this road......
Wish me luck, it's do it now or never, the clock is running out to finish Blu 72.

Take plenty of pictures. Buy Ziplock bags in bulk, several different sizes, as well as Sharpie markers. Be VERY carefull when removing the center guage stack trim(if you take it down that far), where the radio and A/C vents are...those turds will break if the wind blows too hard, so...be carefull!
Bag and clearly lable everything by side...even if they fasteners are the same on both sides. Sometimes, things get changed over the years, and the screw/fastener that is supposed to go in one location might not anymore, because someone put in the wrong fastener way back when, and screwed the threads up. Be prepared for some screws to twist the heads off, or strip out...it can happen. Be gentle with the wiring under the carpeting....it can be brittle.
Oh yeah....and take LOTZA pictures!! 😉
