More progress on the seats and wheelchair securing points. All of the seats are detached. I decided to strip them down to their steel frames and have them recycled. The rear heater is also removed at this point (left side of the photo) and I am working on removing the front heater. What a mess!
The heaters are tied into the engine's cooling system. There is a loop of 1" (ID) radiator hose feeding the two heaters, so I drained this, cut the hose near the driver's seat, and closed the loop using 2 90-degree elbows. This was somewhat a PITA, due to the fact that no matter how well I drained the system, there seemed to be a little coolant spillage when I least expected it.
