Then I moved onto the 3rd door.

I don't know what they black stuff is, but it's all over the rear interior.

From there I moved onto the passenger side of rear seat. The black crap was the worst on the back seat.

I also wiped out the entire passenger side door jambs. No pics, boo.

Now for the huge wow factor.

That right there is why I got paid good money at the salvage yards. I could do everything but run the loader & crusher. That's just because I hadn't learned it yet.

I could turn a moldy vomit Mercedes $50 seat into a $400 seat that you would never know was that filthy.

After I get the passenger seat track rebuilt & the seat reinstalled, I'll have to get to the driver side & clean it up too.

Last night I started to test the factory CD radio that I picked up this past weekend.
In the parked position, the radio stations work as it should.
I still have to take it for a drive to see if I still get the wine or not.
Went to give it a cd that I don't care about, it wouldn't take it. So either there is a cd stuck in there or it needs to be relubed & or a rubber band?
I did try that cd in the slave cd. It took it but won't play it nor give it back.

I waited until dark to check the radio button lights. The cd radio has burnt out button lights. Just as many as the cassette radio, but different spots.

As long as it doesn't wine, I can always refurbish it.

Last night I tested the underhood light that I picked up a few weeks ago (the original one didn't work & had a broken mount).
It didn't work.
So I dissected it to try cleaning the contacts to see if that fixes it.
I completely cleaned it up & reassembled it.







I hooked it up this morning.
It works now.
