1982 300d Restoration Thread

So! I'm finally posting about my massive project.

I have a solid, nearly rust free (only spot under the battery tray) CA car with an absolutely BAKED paint job, fried dash, seats torn to hell, and grimy carpet.
She runs solid and I decided I was going to spruce her up with new seats and really work to clean the carpet, or possibly replace with a kit.

Things escalated quickly.

This is Steak, 195k on her, had this one about 2 years. Nice straight body, one dent above above a tail light and a scrape on the wheel well. Clearcoat is so shot that she bleeds red into the snow (never left her out again).

She's a....20 footer, or looks great when it rains! Paint condition much clearer here:

The warzone of an interior, with dash, already yanked the carpet that was toast from the leak under the battery:
