Stripped seats
Demolition - we removed the seat bottoms and backs first so we could re-use the foam if we need it.

Interior from outsided the rear door
We left the first two seats (one on each side), just in case we needed to drive her somewhere. All the other seats have been removed. This took a good portion of a Saturday. This picture was taken from outside the rear emergency door.

Another interior shot
Another view from near the ceiling. Most of the rubber flooring has been removed. We broke it up and put it in the trash can (near the center of the picture.)

Two holes in the floor
A close-up of the holes. It looks like they were cut to do some maintenance on the fuel tank.

Plywood
Close-up of the wood. Very wet, very dirty, very nasty. The good news is that it is only held down by the seat bolts, so it comes up very easily.

Trim
Here is some of the trim that came from around the floor. It is in excellent shape, but very dirty. A little soap, oven cleaner, and steel wool should make it look like new.
