Hauled out most of the 38 year old shag carpet in anticipation of a "Do Over". Probably not with shag, but not bare walls either. A lot of places were contact cemented in, but I've discovered with gloves, a respirator, and a fan, gasoline cuts the glue and doesn't bother the paint if you don't linger too long in one place.

Nice to have bare walls. Are you going to do any insulation of any kind behind there? Now’s The time.

Dropped the fuel tank of the 94 Safari, owned by my old teacher's family. The tank was full of years old stale gas, the sending unit was in bad shape, but I quickly tested the new AcDelco fuel pump and it kicked on so I know the wiring is good and the original pump was the culprit.
The strainer was also missing, maybe it's in the tank.

Should be good to go once the old gas is poured out and the new sending unit arrives. I also changed the oil and fuel filter on it.

I also had to pull the cigarette lighter/dome light fuse because for some reason the clock stays on all the time when the key is out and it was draining the battery.

I agree, now's the time!
I've seen evidence of insulation in the back corners, but think I'm going to pull enough screws so I can be sure it's throughout the sides as well.
Pretty stoked as to how the floors look and the general condition of this outfit. Even the floors surprised me. smile

Yesterday I finally finished my LS swap and buttoned everything back up. It currently has open headers so it's a bit too loud for cruising, but I drove it around the block a few times. Then I washed and waxed it and giggled by my accomplishment. Off to the exhaust shop on Monday!

It starts when turning the key, and I don't have to pump the gas. Feels weird! Then the fact that the horsepower has DOUBLED from the 305 makes it quite a different beast. I'll romp on it more when the exhaust is in place.
