I'm pretty slow to post progress...
Carpet went back last week. It seems okay so far.
Have been refinishing the floor panels. Stripped, primed, and repainted. Used Rustoleum 248635 "cabernet" satin finish, which was as close as I could find to the original. The new is much more orange than purple in the original maroon. It would probably be an excellent match for 79-81 reddish interior color, or maybe the porno red cars. It certainly looks better even if the color isn't right.
I backed out of removing the side trim and dyeing it. I removed the passenger side and realized it would all need to come out again when I remove the exterior trim to paint the car in the future. Instead of removing twice and risking damage, I left it be for now. For the record, the Duplicolor HVP110 burgundy dye is very close to the original 90/91 cranberry plastic trim color.
Since all the screws were nasty rust messes, I got new screws too. Zinc finish instead of phosphate and oil... again it looks better.
Forgot to take a before pic, but you can see how bad the floor was:
Naked Wagon Floor for reference:
Now:
I need a rear seat latch if anyone has one has one. This one is frozen. I got it to move but it won't move enough to function. I may try soaking in evaporust if it comes down to it.
I also threw a new IAC on this and a new TPS. The IAC I knew was bad. The TPS is a guess on a stumble and a CEL that likes to come on when coasting after it gets nice and warm.
