I bought it for $1600, and I plan to put less than $400 into it... Plan on selling it for $3000-3500.... A 1-1.5k profit.

*dang*, I wish I had the room to do something like that!
My uncle has done it for years, and has turned some *dang* good profit doing so.
Nissan Multi Wagon for 70 bucks, put 350 into it, sold it for 2g..that kinda thing.

Here is the carpet before cleaning... I'll post the after pictures when they are dry tomorrow.

*dang*, that's a DIRTY car! He wasn't kidding about the dirt roads either.

no kidding. I just took my car apart for no doubt the first time ever in 123k miles, and it was nowhere near that dirty!

you should totally empty the shop vac then weigh it and vaccum all the dirt off then weigh the shop vac again to see how much dirt you vacuumed out.

or just dump it all out afterwords and show us the dirt!

Posted: **Sun Sep 28, 2008 6:24 pm**

Most of that dirt will be wiped out with a wet cloth. You will just have to imagine the dirt pile

Wow

carpet is drying faster than I thought it would in the sun.

Tomorrow I'm gonna order the headliner kit and fuel level sender, and see if Ed can get me some small parts...

Makes me want to take some more cars apart!

I just got back from trying to get mine back together. It just doesn't feel right...

Carpets look night and day different. Good work! Can't wait to see the finished car.

Hey Haro, how long did it take you to remove the seats and carpet?

Posted: **Sun Sep 28, 2008 8:24 pm**

Whoa, great work! Looking forward to the progress for sure!

I gutted the entire car in about an hour, but I have done this a few times before... *not trying to brag... well kinda*

the room is starting to get a bit crowded...lol

Did you use a steam cleaner? The marks look like either a steam cleaner or a really strong vacuum cleaner.

I cleaned the carpets with the self-serve car wash. Took about $4 to get them like that. I used a small brush to work the carpet.

The marks I made with the brush strictly for the picture

Doing this reminds me so much of when I did my car....

ya, its bad

i can now see why GM wants almost $200 per section of this stuff, its pretty complex with all the padding and such

i found some new water problems i was unaware of before, check out how wet the padding is

i knew the rear piece is going to be replaced since some of the carpet is actually missing from some acid, so i am only working on the front...

i worked on it in my driveway for a while, had some laundry detergent soaking on it for a while, notice how the carpet holds all water...it soaked for almost 30 min

after that i took it to the carwash to powerwash it, with some help from the van

here the carpet hangs to dry, i think it turned out pretty good for its first cleaning, i can always keep doing it
