I am preparing a post dedicated to the rebuild and direction we want to go with the interior but we will save that for later as during our tear-out last weekend we found yet another area that needs attention. The passenger front floor showed signs of previous water stain on the carpet so we knew we had a possible issue and issue we have. The carpet was hiding a pretty significant problem as the plywood and metal under it were in bad shape. The metal itself was completely separated from the front and side walls due to rust.
On a good note, I think... we found during this destruction that the heater core water lines have been disconnected. I guess we will cover that also in another post.
Carpet removed
Plywood removed. It was nasty
This is what it looked like most of the way around.
Completely separated
Now might be a good time to take a look at the exhaust manifold
