And so it begins....the interior tear down. Just doing a little bit at a time but coming soon is sound deadening, new carpet, new headliner, running wires for sound system, new seat covers with added heated and vented seats, and panel painting. It's gonna be a slow process bc the person I bought it from really trashed this interior and the metal is gonna need a lot of cleaning as I go. But here's some shots from this morning after about an hour.1000011915.jpg1000011916.jpg1000011918.jpg

Yea its gonna be a lot of fun and well worth it. I will definitely be posting pics. I removed the 3rd row but the previous owners had a bunch of kids and the rear panels are scratched up. I gonna try to sand it down and paint it first before replacing it. lol

How's it coming? Any progress? For minor scratches I use a heat gun. Works pretty good.

Did you find a replacement headliner? If so, please share the link bc I have been unable to come up with anything besides replacement fabric only that requires completely removing and sanding down your existing headliner, then stretching and adhering in the new fabric.

I just bought the fabric. Installing it is not that difficult

You were correct, prepping the headliner was super easy, I just used a wire brush then wiped it down with alcohol. Ordered foam-backed suede fabric and new carpet last night, I'll post the results in my build thread. Thanks for the nudge lol

Not hard, just a pita--especially when you're trying to lay it out without any wrinkles.
