Not yet. School and work have kept me busy enough that I haven't gotten to tear up the liner yet. Hopefully this weekend or next I will get a chance.

I know that there are several water leaks. The previous owner chopped the rear end and did not do a very good seal around the rear window. There is also a direct gap leading from the wheel well to the cabin from a lack of a shield. This jeep had clearly been submerged in water many times. But the leak that led to water under the liner was a crack where he had tried to speed line over a wire that was unsuccessful. Looks like I will be grinding up the passenger side liner and assessing the rest of the damage. Since the liner peels up easily would a paint scrapper work or does it have to be a wire brush?
But I will post more pics once I get the floor clear of the liner.Also, I'd make sure & have a grinding wheel or 2, and sanding disks or/and flapper wheel - they cut the rust much faster
