My '90 ZR-1 project update thread - Page 7 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Started working on my Z again, still working on the interior.

Got both carpeted door sill/front speaker covers cleaned and installed. I also cleaned the seat belts and detailed the plastic pieces.

I filled the sink with water then dumped in a good amount of concentrated Simple Green (I've got a big, plastic sink in the garage, very handy). I let the belts soak in this mixture for a good 20 minutes (after pulling the belt out all the way and jamming it with a screw driver so it would stay out). I then scrubbed the full length of each belt on both sides with a plastic scrub brush.

Both side cargo carpet pieces cleaned and installed.

The carpet in the rear cargo area was just absolutely filthy, it was probably the dirtiest place in the whole interior. I don't know how someone can let their car get this dirty, but the previous owner apparently didn't care! :ack:

Here is a before picture (took these 2 pics with a different camera which is why the red has a different hue than the other pics). That one white stain was a mass of some kind of sticky, gooey substance. I sprayed some of that electronic contact cleaner to loosen it up, combed it out with one of those small flea combs for animals, then vacuumed the area. Repeated that process several times, then finished off with the carpet cleaner. I'm surprised I was able to remove it! The rest of the carpet I just vacuumed, then used the carpet cleaner.

And here is the after pic, rear carpet installed.

1)Did you check it with a blue light?

2)Did you wear gloves?

3)Did you check to make sure the car was never registered to Ron Jeremy?

4)Did it have a cassette tape with heavy base music stuck in the player?

5)When the prior owner said he blew the motor, did you get specifics?

LOL!

Someone's got their mind in the gutter! I didn't think of it that way when I wrote that, but now that I re-read it, it does sound funny! And I think you meant to say "black light".
