When I got the car, the interior was completely stripped, the heater
controls were gone along with the gauges in the center console.  On
top of all that, after taking the dash out to clean all the ground wires
and fix any broken connections, I found that the heater fan was
completely seized.  I removed the complete heater unit, and then
found that the heater core was leaking.  I put in a used fan I had that
was working fine, and JB welded the heater core where it was leaking
(it was leaking from a bad "O" ring where the 2 hose connections bolt
to the core body), the heater worked fine.  I also installed a heater
control unit from a junk-yard car, and now all that is working.  I got a
carpet kit, and used the aftermarket seats I already had, and now the
interior is almost like new again (I still have to make some new vinyl
pieces for the "C" pillars and get the trim pieces that go above the
doors).  Below are pictures as of 2/28/2003.
