When I did my interior, I DREADED pulling up the carpet. Once I finally got the nerve, I found all kinds of holes. I paid a bodyshop $700 to repair the holes, put in new steel, and re create the channels where the lower door weatherstrip clings onto....after that I had the entire interior sprayed with bedliner.

Nice project so far, really makes me miss my 84 Sierra.

Just a tip for your thread, when you submit the pics, (especially when theres eye candy involved lol) insert a line between each picture with the enter key so they're on top of each other instead of in a horizontal line.
