Removing Carpets and Trim from a 1978 MGB

I have roughly 6 months to get this MGB repainted.  I have spent the winter in the garage stripping the car down, cleaning parts, and bagging them in my store room.  As I have been pulling the parts off I have created a list of parts that need to be ordered or sourced from somewhere.  I am just about at the point where I can get this car off to the shop for metal work. That will be a major milestone in this restoration so time to get to it.

Out come those carpets.  They are in pretty decent shape so I will be just cleaning them up and reinstalling them.


First out come the seats.


Once the seats are out, then need to remove the centre console and the carpets can come out.



Floors have some minor surface rust but nothing major.  No holes in the floorpan.


There we go, no more carpets, no more trim, no more windscreen.  Looks like its about ready to head for paint.
