Some updates!
I finally figured out why my dash wouldn't come out. I had a couple more bolts that I didn't see I also dislike the factory plug ends, there were so many!! But I finally got it out and cleaned it up with a Magic Eraser. The ducting will get washed, and the heater core will get replaced as well.

I took the front seat covers apart and found that the bottom frame of the drivers side seat was cracked and bent in several places. It also had a replacement seat back on it. Most likely replaced while 8337 was inservice.
The seat covers were washed with Blech-Wite Tire cleaner.

Today I decided to steam clean the carpet and seats again. The carpet cleaned up pretty nice (except for the fading on the top of the trans tunnel). As I was sucking up the water, I could clearly see all the spilled coffee remanents! The seats cleaned up even nicer with more Blech-Wite and the steam cleaner. Most of the stains on the rear seat are gone.

When my dad (or I) paint the car, the low gloss under the hood and trunk will be replicated. I want my car to look original. I don't like super glossy look. With some tape, I started peeling off the white repaint on the drivers door jam. I accomplished my goal of uncovering the unit #. That will be taped off when the door is repainted








Door panels cleaned.






All clean

And I started taking the whole front end apart.
