The continuing story of an 002 that's gone to the dogs

What Lies Beneath

I ended up with a fairly OK used pedal box from 002spares, and rebuilt that one instead. Throttle linkage setup is certainly exciting. Pulling out the carpet to get to the box, however, lead to a new discovery, and that meant of course I had to strip the rest of the interior to see how far it all went. So that's rust in both rockers at the front of the doors with adjacent patches in the floorpans, rust along the tunnel to passenger floor pan join, and a large collection of holes in the rear

Gettin' Underfoot

Pedal box extracted with minimal drama... aaaand I'm not putting it back on. I didn't shoot the PO's novel accelerator pedal attachment (a sheetmetal screw through the plastic base into the bodywork, plus some glue on the pedal nubs that stuck to the carpet), but safe to say I'm replacing that as well.
