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!

Thank you very much for your motivating words. It has been a hard labor of love.
