Carpet Removal

First attempt at removing the interior carpet resulted in me finding out that in order to remove the carpet in one piece I would have to remove the entire dash. This would end up being a big pain in the ass so I decided to just cut around where the carpet passes under the dashboard. Yanking the carpet out still sucked after cutting around the dash but after 20 minutes of pulling on it it finally came out. Weighed in at 35 lbs which now puts me over 200lbs of material removed.
With the carpet removed I can see that there are some rust areas in the floor which will need to be address, for now they have been primed to prevent further rusting. The sound deadening material on the floor also needs to be scraped off, there isn't nearly as much as was in the trunk but it might all add up to 10 lbs.
