Initial Cleaning and Interior Projects - Part 4

I led off the morning with painting the second two A/C vents and the driver side door pull.  I don't have much more planned to paint today which is good as I ran out of paint.  I would have put another light coat or two more on these but I'll use the as it and can repaint later if they don't look good once they dry.  I didn't realize how much of this paint I was going to use or I would have purchased two cans.

When I was finishing up painting, my Amazon order arrived containing the door panel retainers.  I coated the window slider with some WD40 Silcone spray while I waited for the door pull paint to dry.  I then put the driver door back together without the rain shield plastic and threw away the old insulation.  When the time comes to install stereo speakers, I'll just end up doing all of that work then.  I've already spent enough on what was going to be a fairly simple refresh of the interior.

It is suppose to rain this afternoon so the next job on the list was to clean the driver and passenger seat.  They are covered with stains and look horrible.  While the driver side needs to be replaced, I want them to be as nice as possible until that day comes.  Much like the back seat, I ended up cleaning the driver seat about five or six times.  The passenger side wasn't as bad but did have some stains on the lower portion.  

Once they were cleaned, I decided to do ahead and address the mounting points on them.  Where the rear two bolts go on both seats the mounting point is rusted quite a bit.  It had stained the carpet.  I used a wire wheel and a sanding disc to get off all the rust and to as much of bare metal as possible.  I then coated them with Krylon Rusty Metal Primer and then Krylon Matte Black.  They will the some time for both the paint and seats to dry after being cleaned. 

I remoted the passenger side door panel and fixed it up just like the driver side using the new map pocket and WD-40 Silicone on the window slides.  The passenger side was much cleaner so there wasn't as much work to do in getting it ready.  That said, all of the push retainers on the door were so worn they were not doing anything either.  

The final task of the day was to clean the floor of the Mustang.  I vacuumed it all out, used a brush to get more of the stuck on stuff free, and then vacuumed a second time.  I sprayed some cleaner on the floor and wiped it all off.  I cut out the insulation under the back seats and it also smelled like mouse pee.  I'd have liked to have used it and don't see it reproduced but I've rather find something else than use it the way that it was.  

I have a few more parts to clean up like the kick panels and the sill plates.  I need to treat some rust on the passenger rear floorboard and have some Eastwood paint coming in a few days for that job.  Once that is done, I'll put some sound deadener in that is on the way, install the carpet, and reassemble the car.
