This picture doesnt do justice of just how disgusting the interior was. At night you couldnt see out of th windshield because there was a layer of yellow cigerette sludge on the inside. There was makeup all over the steering wheel and gear selector (i guess it was on her hands?) and there were ashes and cig wrappers everywhere. Just nasty.

Went to the junk yard and pulled some mint parts off an S10...

Ripped it down to, and replace the core support. I figured if Im going to do it, I wanted to do it right! So I replaced EVERYthing on the front end that was in ANYWAY touched by the accident.

Everything loosely hung and grille painted.

Masked off! (3m masking tape is FRIGGEN expensive....) I used textured Herculiner roll on bed coating. This stuff is nice. Ive used it on another one of my S10's and I had a good experience with it. So I tried it again. I think it came out great! I also like that its shiney... A lot of the other bed coatings are dull or flat!

FINISHED! Officialy 100% done daily driver! All the bugs are worked out... The truck drives like a dream. And all the mechanicals are rock solid! Glad you guys all swayed me to keep the truck :D Thanks guys.
