Stripped out the interior last night and today. I know that it broke down with the previous owner when the Olympics were on (July 2012), but looks like it hasn't had a clean in ages.

I used an electric toothbrush to clean my door cards and seats using interior cleaner and leather care cream respectively.

Certainly shows commitment in our house inside of vehicle cleaning is a pink job so that is for SHMBO might tell her to drip the car down next time - over the phone of course |

So if you just put the drivers seat back in you will have created a proper rrs. A proper lightweight more nimble version of the ff. Should be quicker, corner better. Any issues will be much easier to fix.

I know, but when you are going to keep the motor, all being well for a few years, a good clean is a must. It needs a really good clean in any case. There is that fine brown soil dust that gets everywhere, it is engrained into everything. Some people must have more money than sense when it comes to cars. It hasn't been looked after well inside at all. Body work though has no supermarket dings, just the usual rust scabs on the upper tailgate door which will need painting at a later date. After fitting the rear carpet and other items today, before I fitted (temporally) the drivers seat, I had a go with some Cillit bang black mould remover and a toothbrush. The difference is unbelievable.
They are. I don't know what they pack into them, the rear double seat is very heavy. Someone on here suggested taking it out through the back. A bit easier than through the side door opening. Didn't have time to do the whole seat, but tried a small area to see if it was any good. Need some Gliptone leather conditioner before I do the whole seat. I recon at least 2 hours work on the drivers seat alone, but will be worth the time and effort. Steve. 1968 Series IIA Pastel Green, nearly there project |

Mould remover will have chlorine in it which probably won't help anything. Nylon brush and some all-purpose cleaner like Stardrops works well on dirty leather. |
