Glad to see that you were able to bring 0327 home. Here's the thread on the car being for sale -

Congratulations on the purchase, it looks to be an excellent starting point.
 Hope you're the first on the block to actually complete an '82 CHP restoration...there seems to be a virtual fleet of them out there in some stage of progress/waiting.

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately she won't be restored for a long time but will be driven, enjoyed, and improved upon. Taking a pressure washer to this thing is tempting. I'd love to know what the paint looks like under the crappy auction job. The original paint visible under all the flaking areas looks pretty good.
I removed the interior and no sign of the buildsheet. Looks like during 0327's prep for auction, a few screws were left un-installed on some of the trim pieces. Fortunately, most were under the rear seat. I'm dealing with and tossing the insulation pieces responsible for the mildew smell. It's not horrible but it isn't good either. The carpet and seatbelts are getting steam cleaned today at a work contact's detail shop. The floorpans are clean of rust except for some light surface rust on the seat reinforcement welds. Interestingly, the passenger side does have identical holes to the driver side where the lap belt is installed. I will have to check the carpet again but it really did not look like a belt was ever installed on the passenger side.

Got the carpet and belts back today and holy smokes the belts look great! The carpet is worn but very clean now at least. I checked the carpet and the passenger side does have a hole where the lap belt was installed. I'd definitely like to find another one at some point.
Lastly, the horrible window tint is completely removed. What a huge difference that made.

Jonathan - glad to see you snagged this one! Yes, it rains...a lot, here in Seattle. And we're constantly fighting moisture inside cars. Glad to see it inside.
 Looks like a great starting point for a restoration.

Greg-
The detail department of one of the dealerships I work with sprayed something on them to lift the stains and something to fight the mildew smell then pressure washed them. I stressed to the guy that did the work how gentle to be with the rug. It's pretty thin in a couple areas. Everything came out great. The headliner material looks the same as the visors.
