elbow work.

Funny what a little elbow work can do.

I traded my grey int. for a tan int. over the weekend and I'm happy with the change but it's not without cost. The interior looks like crap. very dirty and has re-painted panels, only good thing is the reapolstered GTA power seats. It's my goal to bring this int back to it's orgional pimpness.

I started cleaning the arm rest, now remember these are just the armrest, imagine what the door panels and body panels loook like..

My solution to this problem was to buy new armrests

Of course, my existing ones were beyond the scope of my repair abilities, and I'm working on a Concours-quality restoration. Regardless, you've done a kick-*** job on those armrests!

accidentally deleted the before anel but it looked pretty much like the arm rest did, I'll be replacing the sills with ones in way better condition. I still need to scrub the fleece material but it will dof or it.

heres the pic.

yea there was some bleach in the mix but it didn't lighten anything because it's back in the car and matches the panels.

from now on I using my formula for all cleaning except fabrics lol.
