Yes , it just has a little surface rust in a spot or two . The inside looks pretty clean really ..
I do want to paint it with some sort of good paint for galvanized metal though .. Any suggestions?

If your interested I made an intro video. I’ll win no Oscars for my performance.. And I mistakenly called it a 61 instead of a 62 year .
Almost senior moment there .. LOL !

Hose- dull screwdriver and channel locks . Gently work screwdriver in and around while also gently working hose back and forth with channel locks. Eventually ot will break free as you get deeper.
Dash- looks worse than mine did and I had more stuff

Get some quotes on having it spray foamed...I was pleasantly surprised at the price. I had my garage foamed and added the 24,000 BTU mini-split and it was life changing. Power bill is a little higher in the summer when I'm busting out a lot of projects, but it's so worth it.

2” of closed cell would probably run around 3600 bucks or so . R- value around 15 .. That’s not doing the 2 ends of the building..
