Before and after before installing 3" Terrafirma lift kit. Notice the nice clean exhaust manifold in the back.

Done with the mechanics, now on to the interior:

Started to install the new floor after cleaning up a couple of rusty areas.

Repaired the sagging mesh pockets. You can see how much I had to pull and cut to make them tight again.
I've also repaired the dashboard buckling with plastic epoxy. Please excuse my rough execution...

This is a great thread. Also a dangerous one in that it motivates me to go out there and look for something similar...which, according to Murphy's Law, will not be nearly as 'easy' or successful.

Well done!
