More work today, finished stripping out as the underhood and dash wiring. Also removed the remaining chunk of original (but no longer used) wire harness.
Next moved on to removing the temporary panel that was put in place to cover the hole where the firewall was cut to provide space for the Jag motor. The temp panel was pretty much just insulation and cardboard. I'll fab up a metal panel to replace that.
With that removed, I pulled the remains of the original rubber floor mat out. It pretty petrified and broken. So this will get replaced with carpet latter on. But may be useful as a template.
With what out and the pedal pads removed, (gas pedal is pretty reached, so need to add that to the parts list), I pull up the toe panel. I could see daylight through it in many places. It to far gone to patch repair it. So a replacement will need to go in.
Meanwhile I start stripping the rust away on the rest of the firewall and underdash area so they can get painted.
