Pulled the door panels, dash, bench. Detailed for close to 8 hours. Shampooed the carpet and seats.


20 years of not getting cleaned





After vacuuming





After shampooing-not perfect but an improvement.



Before of seats-Didn't get a chance to take after.

Used Bissell 2X Concentrate (grey bottle). I have some that has Febreeze but it's meant for pets stains. I was going to hit it first with soapy water (dawn) but I did my gf's floor mats first (with soapy water then the shampooer) and the suds were spitting out of the machine. Might go back over the few stubborn spots with a spot remover.

Got some more pics from workin last night. I've got one side sitting on the ground. I've still got to install the drop pitman, extended brake lines, and torque everything down, and onto the rear. The passenger side TTB arm pivot bracket kicked my butt with all 6 rivets in it. Good gosh. It's getting there though.

Got my OEM replacement window squeegee things from LMC today. Window seals, whatever. Almost everyone uses them as built in squeegees when their windows are fogged up or something.
