All the interior was removed from mine and stuffed in the cargo area except for the front seats. First thing I did on this one was replace the stupid hatch struts so I didn't have to worry about getting hit in the head with the hatch.

Mines been broken since I got it and I sure as hell have. Takes me about 2 seconds to reach up and open it by hand. I'll go to hood pins before I fix it probably lol

You can get a replacement for $30 at RockAuto.
How do you reach up and pop the hood? On mine, the PO fed the busted cable out through the grille, and you had top use a vice grip to yank at the exposed cable.

Taken straight from my first post in my signature thread.
Now, what I have done to it:
I had to change the right headlight as it wasn't working anymore. I found a brand new one for 5$.
It didn't have any floor mats when I bought it. So, I went to the store and got a roll of carpet and I trimmed them the way I wanted.
I bought a hitch bar and ball (both 2 inches)
Took off the end caps on the front bumper because one was broken. Still have to block the sides with some steel or relocate the vacuum canister.
There is some surface rust on the rockers and bottom of the doors so I decided to take care of it with some Rocker Guard. I'm not all done yet, I still have to do the passenger's side. I have to say that it looks pretty good compare to how it was before.
Out of all that, the carpets are long gone (have husky liner now), stock front bumper is long gone (custom winch bumper now), canister has been relocated awhile ago and I painted both rockers/bottom of the doors with bedliner.
