Time to give Gramps some love…
And what I mean is cleaning the interior. Looks to me like no one has done that for thirty years. The first thing I cleaned was the doors and the dash. I still need to use the Bissel on the door fuzzy parts.
This is a huge improvement.. trust me on that. My cleaner is quite powerful so I have to remind myself to be careful. I didn’t mean to but I erased the symbols on the light switch.
Don’t ask what that toggle switch is for cause I don’t know… YET. But now that there are no seats in the way…
It would be easier to get under the dash to find that remote start crap. Yes I removed the seats …Easy to clean the carpet and the seats this way. And let this be the “before” photo. Oh and now that we have easy access I was curious about the tool box.
Sure Nuff.. There’s all the dusty tools like they’ve never been touched.. Amazing ! I also found 4 quarters in the door pocket.. There’s a buck towards some new parts. Dusty seams to be the theme here. The motor and area is not greasy but very dusty.
Really dusty ! Today I dropped my 10 mm wrench down inside the door. So I had to remove the door panel to get it. Dusty everywhere. And if that’s the worst, then we are good. Here’s two photos after I cleaned the carpet and the seats.
The back seat is quite nice now..
Don’t mind those wires.. They are leftovers from removing the command start system. I did not get any fobs for that.. So this mess goes in the garbage. 
Those wires are the 12 volt hot , the 12 volt acc and the ground. As soon as I put the battery back I’ll test to confirm that.. Maybe could use them somewhere. Next is a under the hood bath.
And here’s a “after” photo. quite the improvement. I have one small thing that needs attention. The battery terminal clamps. They are old and rusty, and well just wrong. I fix ! And that is all the cleaning for now.
