Final Removal of the Interior.

Today we finished the removal of all of the dead weight within the Mustang. A total estimate of 100 pounds of sound deadening material was successfully removed from the car. This counts insulation, sticky pad material, excess plastic, and the padding off of the bottom of the new carpet. The new rug was a pain to get into the car, but was worth the fight because of how much better it looks. The old carpet was extremely stained with an oily, black substance, making it extremely slimy and gross. I also re-installed the rear seats, fixed the headliner, re-installed the seatbelts, and started on re-installing the center console. I don’t plan to finish the console or front seats any time soon because of any adjustments we may need to make or if we have to install any new wiring.

This is a pic of the removed sound deadining material.

Notice the chips of black and white. This was some kind of resin coated pad that was used to dampen floor board noises.

Not a very big picture, but this is the installed, new carpet.

The rear seats.

Tommorow, Mike and I plan on fixing the headliner, placing in the front seats, and cleaning the carpet along with the plastic interior.

I'll have pictures of the cleaned interior later on.
