My Dirty Blazer Gets Less Dirty

As some of you may know, I bought a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , or Jimmy. Last weekend, I set about the task of cleaning the outside, and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Some may have wondered why I neve showed the interior. Til now.

There's one reason why I didn't show it. It was an absolute mess. Alongside the fucks that the previous owner lost pertaining the outside, the interior fucks simply just ran away. So here you go.

And finally..

I only took ones of the carpet, which is my bad. All the interior panels had either thick coats of dirt or dust all over them. I could barely read the speedo because the glass was caked over. You could draw your name in the dirt on the dashboard and all the door-jams were brown, not black.

I can do a lot of good cleanup work to an unloved car, but I knew this was beyond my abilities. So, earlier today I let the detail shop have at it. I didn't tell them anything about the condition of the car beforehand, and left it in the parking lot for them.

Luckily, they didn't seem to mind and did pretty decent work, considering the start point.

All things considered, I'm very pleased. Adding some grey carpet floormats will help a lot as well.

Lastly, I did some light body cleanup again. I also bought a new hood for it, since the old one was peeling quite badly. I'll get to painting the roof next, but it's really coming along pretty quickly.

Paying to have that interior cleaned, was money well spent.

This is one of those cases where you should just pull all the carpets out and pressure wash them.
