Has anyone torn out the interior of their w123? The rust has become bad enough that I'm beginning to look for rust free frames with bad drivetrains, but that's still expensive and I'd need an engine lift and everything, probably won't be doing that for a long time. In the mean time I need to tear out a lot of interior, mostly trim and carpeting to protect and prevent fires and I need room to clean out all the damn insulation. My front rocker/wheel well repair isn't going well. What about sandblasting?
