Great yard find!

i picked up a set of fourth gen front seats for $20!!!!!

problem: they need attention pretty badly, there are no rips or hole anywhere that i can see, but they are pretty dirty. any ideas on how i can clean them up a little? the where sitting in a ttop car with no ttops so the are a little moldy and what not, but anyway, give me some ideas on how to clean these things up!

oh, and i picked up a flawless dash pad from these guys 2 weeks ago for $15!!!

well, i don't think i will be shipping them anywhere! lol, yeah, i am in the middle of gathering up all of my parts for the red-gray interior swap. all i need now are sunvisors and door panels, and i think i know where to get some door panels for cheap too!

i think this afternoon after church i am going to take the covers off and throw them in the wash on cold/super delicate and see how that does, then to get the rest of the stains out, i am going to get some resolve or that Blue Coral stuff. didn't therckid put his covers in the wash and they came out perfect? i remember others doing this too. asked my mom about it and she said they outgha be fine.
