Go team!

We got a lot done today on prepping the van – gutting the interior so we can overhaul the carpet, seats and headliner (and see how to mount the xylophones) and scrubbing off the rest of the mid-80s tequila-sunset striping.

@alienrobot finished stripping off all that stuck-on trim with a razor blade.

Kristina and Panda started out hand-sanding the adhesive residue that the trim left behind.

I later brought out the orbital sander, which made things go a lot faster, and probably violated at least one child labor law.
See video.

Carefully, I cut out the carpet, marking seat-mounting holes onto the old one so they can be cut in the new one when we pick it up next week.

Meanwhile, @alienrobot got to unscrewing all the interior panels. We managed to gut the van, making it ready for insertion of the new carpet and headliner next.
