Today I removed the sound deadening beneath the rear seats, next to the rear speakers, and some on the firewall and on the rear wheel wells. I called local places that sell dry ice but all of them close before I get off work so it's impossible for me to get my hands on dry ice this week. Ok...I have some canned air at home, right?

Progress has still been slow since cleaning parts takes me forever. I'm happy to say that every part is now thoroughly cleaned and ready to blast My hookup with a blast cabinet keeps backing out on me so...
