New interior for 105

Post by Kyle »

I just got back from CA and I had forgotten how nice the junkyards are out there compared to the crap thats out here. I got hatch area insulation, door armrests, center armrest, dash (cracked but will suffice till i can afford a repo, i have nothing right now) information center in PERFECT condition, pass seat tracks and full carpet. I sent back the ACC stuff, it didn't even fit right. The carpet is dirty but someone suggested drowning it in simple green and it should be alright. I also managed to find dew wipes with intact rubber, no cracks or even scratchs on the metal. I love california!!!! Anyway, basically stripped an 86 hatch in the proccess. Nice car, don't know why it was in the junk yard. I'm still looking for hatch interior panels, mine have some cracks on them. I will be putting the car back togather over the next few weeks and will post pics as I go along. I haven't touched it in 2 1/2 weeks and am itching to get working on it

People seem to say that steam cleaning will work the best.

Or, take it and go to the biggest laundromat you can find with the big front loading washers. Put it in there and wash it with lots of soap.

Supposedly that works the absolute best.

If any staines still will not come out use simple green and Castrol super clean.

Take the carpets out of the car...

Mix up a bucket of Tide (or whatever detergent you use) and water (nice and soapy of course) then hit the carpets with some Superclean...make sure to get every inch...do quarters at a time...Then dip a coarse brush in the soapy water and scrub away. Finally hit them with the hose...but get the hose nozzle down in the carpet...go over the whole thing and you will see the nasty crap just flow out of the carpets...:)
