I took two days and cleaned out the interior and sprayed it all with Raptor 2k bedliner. It really looks sharp compared to the condition it was in when I picked it up. I have to still spray the interior doors but I'll post some images once I do.

Also, I was thinking regarding the engine issues I was having regarding a bit of stumbling/hesitation and warmer-than-I'd-prefer running temps. The car when I received it had a cheap Aquus temperature gauge that always read between 175 and 190* regardless of conditions. This was when the car also had no grill on the tail, a carb spacer, and the cheap intake.

Does anyone think it possible that removing the carb spacer has caused vapor lock due to the newer fuels that are more prone to heat problems? I can't really fit a carb spacer under the ducktail grill as it sits even with the low-profile intake. Guess I'll dig into it more once I get the interior pieced back together.
