Decided to make the windows transparent again, if for no other reason than to let light in while working. The side windows cleaned up OK, but the film on the windshield resisted all efforts. Finally I took a razor blade to it and followed up with some carb cleaner, and ta da! A nice clear, if cracked, windshield.
The next order of business was to get the interior out, before someone caught the hantavirus. 50 years of mice and plenty of dust from farm roads before that made everything dirty and rotten. There was carpet in the rear, but it was so dirt-encrusted and mouse fouled I just chucked it, it was pretty much disintegrated. The front floor mat fell apart as it came out too. The seats came out easily, and I ripped the remains of the aftermarket seat covers off to reveal the rotted, mouse peed original seats. Lots of vacuuming and more trash cans emptied.
