You know how certain things bug you continuously. Well after considerable thought, it was time to really tackle the interior totally. The first round of mods was ok for a time but really needed to do it right on this go around.
Below: Old carpet removed, floor cleaned and heat/sound barrier installed - March 2011

A lot of scraping until the seat well cleaned up
Passenger floor finally cleaned. I had to do a slight fiberglas repair to the upper part of the foot well where there was a small crack caused by something hitting the floor from outside the under part of the car.
Driver's side....the blue stuff is what the old insulation looked like.
