Well, after removing all of the seats, we were finally able to access the trunk from the inside of the car. What we saw wasn't exactly promising: a blue rolled-up tarp and a large remnant of a pink rug. Visions of mafia movies danced in our heads. We knew what we had to do, but we weren't quite as excited to find out what was in the trunk any more. The only way to solve the mystery was to dive right in...literally! Tracy started removing items from the trunk one by one. Out went the pink carpet...it was an improvised truck liner. Out went the blue tarp...that's all it was, a blue tarp all bunched up. There were bags, boxes, and a plethora of miscellaneous parts (how many locking gas caps can one car need?) Once the debris was cleared, Tracy was able to crawl through the trunk to unscrew the trunk latch and pop the lid open. Thankfully, John refrained from taking pictures of the actual process. This picture is a gathering of the rest of the items we found.
This is what the interior of the car looks like now, with the seats removed. The dash is in great shape and a lot of what you see (minus the holes!) is just surface rust. The door panels will obviously need to be replaced.
A view of the car's interior from the passenger's side.
Now that the Lark has been vacuumed out and mostly decontaminated, it is allowed in the garage with the truck. What a pretty sight!
