Interior Mass Cleanup
#1
So as part of my installation of my DVD deck I looked at what I was dealing with. This was my first car where I started wiring s*** in myself and over the months and as the projects went on, I started employing better methods of doing things.

I looked at the wiring I had CURRENTLY in the car and thought to myself "If I was some random guy, and saw this wiring I'd wonder WHO the f*** did it and slap him for it!"

It was disgusting... so messy, wires everywhere.... not tied down etc etc. IT all worked! but, not clean whatsoever.

I also noticed that under the carpets it was quite dirty, front passenger side was very moist (underneath the carpet) and on the Driver side it was very oily (from when my Master Cylinder was leaking brake fluid).

I decided to just remove all the side paneling, remove the seat belt bar things, and take out the carpet. I'm now scrubbing the ENTIRE body, internally, with soapy water cleaning up the dirt and oily mess that was there. Over time, it gets dirty, and with water creates 'green stuff'.... yea, probably small mold colonies forming. Nothing severe but I could tell with another couple years it would've sprouted to something nasty and gotten "old car smell." Clean that up, and everything around it!

While the carpet is out I plan on wiring everything up cleanly, taping it down, tieing it together etc so that its not everywhere. Wires ran properly and cleanly will last alot longer than some makeshift job.

Here are the before and after pics:
