Since the day I bought it, it had a funky odor on the inside. Since my keyless entry doesn't work, front speaker's do not work, and now I have a CEL for the Input Speed Sensor (which I need to access the TCM to diagnose)...I figured I would pull the interior and start fixing some things. I left the front seats, dash, and door panel in since I am still driving it to work.
I found the funky odor due to the carpet padding soaked with water, and at some point in its life it was heavily smoked in.
Front speakers have had some cheap wiring ran from the radio connector to them, so I am ordering new 16ga speaker wire and upgrading the speakers while I am there.
Headliner is being recovered in my favorite color....Multicam
Front driver and passenger floor boards have minimal rust on them, I will be buying some Chassis Saver soon to keep it under control. I am currently hunting for the pieces to change over the interior to the stock Tan/Black panels.

Friday morning the brake pedal went to the floor and the Brake Light Warning came on. Found both rear wheel cylinders erupted, so I proceeded to pull the drums. What a nasty mess. Shoes are cracked and falling apart soaked in brake fluid, self adjuster hardware is missing on one side and wedged in between a spring on the other. I am 95% sure this is the original parts for the drum brakes, especially since the shoes are a split surface pad.





Since the weather is crap for me to pull the disc conversion parts, a trip to Advance Auto was needed. Ended up replacing the drums, shoes, hardware, wheel cylinders, and self adjuster hardware. Big difference now. E-brake works, and the pedal is a lot firmer with less travel.



So the Brake Warning light is still on the dash, so now I am trying to determine what is causing that.

Recovered the headliner and installed this weekend.


Also replaced all speakers with Pioneer 2-ways.


And I am currently swapping the interior from gray to Camel, just as soon as I clean these up.
