well I gutted the interior of my truck, washed all the carpet and foam in the washing mashine and reinstalled everything.
Apperantly the only casualty of the water damage was 2 rear light bulbs and a 760 watt kenwood amp that belongs to my brother.

I even found a live salamander between the rockers and the plastic door molding. Its still alive too.

Roll Me Over

I pulled everything out. I pulled the vinyl and replaced the stinky under-padding with white shag carpeting I got from the local carpet store dumpster. Then I put the vinyl back in. Worked great, better fit, cooler floor, quieter ride, easy to do.

.... I wonder just how many 1st gen Amigos have been buried up over the headlights <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

This one wasn't over the headlights...

...but on other occasions, I have taken in water over the tailgate in the rear while floating the tail end downstream. I was cranking in winch cable at the time whil crossing fast-moving water with my hand on the key, ready to shut-down if necessary. Thank Isuzu for fairly tight door seals! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

Frog/salamander pond water does not smell too good when its soaked into all the carpet.

and the next time you get it wet, about a week after all the seeds carried in from the mud last time start sprouting, requiring either a lawnmower or a dose of weed spray.

It was deeper in before I manged to get 'out' this far, and lost traction. Open the doors and let the water run out.

But not nearly as bad as the time before that;
