I just knew the reinforcement bumper would be the issue, good thing it's cheap. Nice job on the interior, it sure was dirty. I noticed you rad support is pretty mint, us guys in the more northern parts have issues with them rusting out. As it stand now mine is almost completely gone with additional rust holes on the fender core supports. No worries though I have all the parts and painted ready to be installed. Waiting for warmer weather. Going to be a big job.

Looks really good. What did you use to get the coffee and soda stains out?

Looks like you're also in the middle of refinishing the headlights.

I have been using Super Purple to clean everything. I bought a gallon and have been diluting it in spray bottles. I used about an 8:1 mix (they recommend 10:1) on pretty much everything. I had the whole carpet out, I wet it, hit it with A LOT of super purple, the scrubbed the whole thing with a drill brush, then extracted with a Bissel Spot bot. A lot of work but worth it.

I actually haven't started the headlights, one is good, one isn't, not sure how that happened. Fog lights are toast, gonna try to restore them too, otherwise . . . Amazon
Bumper reinforcement is on it's way, carparts.com $63 .17 $21.31 shipping, $4.65 handling, $6.42 tax, total $95.54 total. I paid extra to have it here by Thursday. Tires Friday. Saturday . . . Headlight restore or rear brakes? Maybe the brakes before it gets hot . . .
