Who disassembles half their interior to detail? - Click HERE for Original Thread

fugumerkur
Well since I am newly unemployed I decided to spend some time cleaning the 22 year old slut car I drive.

By the end of the day it was 8 hours of leisurely work and a pretty good looking 22 year old car.

I Shampoo'd the carpets, removed and shampood the rear seats and side bolsters thoroughly vacuumed it all and used Meguirs Vinyl and rubber cleaner conditioner.

I had painted another merkur guys rims and he gave me some mint seats and leather door panels.!

Hi fugumerkur,

Nice work. You will need all the weight savings for our match at the track! :lol:

Car looks good.

My parts are ready to be shipped, I am waiting for 2 more items. I hope I should have them at my door with in a week. :D

To each his own I guess...:dunno:

Why didn't you remove the valve stem from the rim before painting it?

ensures a clean hole for the next one and They weren't my rims to have them removed. ( I blasted the rims and it protects the hole absolutely.) The guy will just replace the stem when he purchases new tires.

IM waiting on another turbo.! I had one shipped (was hoping I could get a t3 t4 but no time to have the guy build it. The T3 I had sent got destroyed in shipping so its at least 2 more weeks to get another. Then some tires and Im ready to go.!

I did the same thing when I was cleaning my Tracker to sell it, although I went a few step further and removed some interior panels as well as the carpets. It had been driven so much with the top off in the sand dunes that I vacuumed over 10lbs of sand out from under the carpets. And yes, I weighed the shop vac before and after. hehe

That thing was cleaner than the day it rolled off the lot when I was done with it.:thumbup:

Ive done that a few times before too...found a dead bee under my seat too. Looks good :thumbup:

i did this last summer because of my friends. I found a half eaten cheese burger in my ebrake center console :confused: So much money under the rear seats 27.75 i believe it was. Also besides that it was just a bunch of random dirt but not to bad.

My beater last winter was like that, i didnt pull the seats out but i did pull out a FULL pack of mc dick fries and about 10 bucks in change, It was pretty gross haha

I did that a few years ago with the Neon, the fifth the seats both to the chassis.




I even took the top half of the dash off, made it easier to clean the whole front window and the corners of the dash panels...

Prudz_lude
yah my friend admitted to droping it in there because he thought it was funny. what an ass :lol:

lol one time I found a dead bird stuck to my rad. I have no idea how long it was there...but when I pulled it off, it was completely stiff and dried out :lol:

Jamie

fugumerkur
well preserved bird!

I guess I should take my after pictures!!!

BRB
:D

fugumerkur
I am so happy to be rid of these!!!







Its so nice inside the car right now. Im quite pleased.

Prudz_lude
didn't you say you were getting leather ones?

fugumerkur
no just leather door panels . its a little mismatched but as long as it looks good to me! Its no show car and probably never will be.

elementfd
cool. i never went as far as to take seats out of my cars but that wouldnt be a bad idea for my escort... take the seats out and sick the kirby vacumm on them. pretty dusty ol things.

THUD
Spring is the perfect time to do some striping & cleaning, last weedend I took most out but left the panels for now.

Did it to the CRX now it's this cars turn :beer:
