The first work on Junior started on August 12, 2001, 5 days after he arrived at his new home.  I began by removing the trunk lid, and the interior seats, and photographing each assembly as I took it apart.  It's so much easier to put those pieces back together if you create a visual guide as you go!  Well, that's my hope anyway.  Here's the pictures I took on day one of the restoration.

These are the first pictures of Junior off the trailer....
I started by removing the back bumper and the trunk lid on the exterior.....

Inside the trunk, some areas are rusted out, other areas are in good condition
the trunk lid itself is in pretty good shape...
