Today I made some progress on the interior of the van. I removed the middle seat by way of the rear hatch (the slider doesn't work), then I removed some trim and then the carpet.
The carpet was extremely nasty. I worked for hours cleaning it and it looks a lot better. It's still drying so no pics of it clean yet but here are a couple of the work-in-progress.
Before getting started:
Carpet out of the van:
Carpet removed:
I also relocated the driver's side rear-most seatbelt to the middle position as that one has been non-functional since I bought the van. Now, with the bench back in, I can at least carry 4 including myself, along with a ton of cargo since I don't have, nor intend on getting, a rear-most bench.
