Cleaned the 7!

It may not have an engine, but I can still make it look nice and clean. Think I'm going to clean the interior tomorrow.

Buy some interior cleaner from walmart or target for $5, it will make your carpets/seats look a whole lot better

Pictures were taken prior to soap. I just sprayed the car down and thought it would make some good pictures.

I'll have to do that. The interior was a lot cleaner, til my mom's ex boyfriend took all my engine parts laying around and threw them inside my car. It was great getting home from work and finding that. The radiator wedged behind the passenger seat, blown, oiley turbo and downpipe on the passenger seat, along with the alternator. Battery on the storage bins, other parts just forced into the back. It was a bitch and a half removing everything.

You have no idea how pissed I was coming home to that. I told them to not touch my car til I was home from work. They could have at least called me and told me they were going to do that, instead of me coming home and finding my car filled with dirty engine components.

There's not much point in washing my poor engine-less car. The paint is too crappy. I've given up on making my car look good. I have been cleaning up the engine bay, though. It was horrible. Dried coolant stains and almost 20 years of road grime. I'll have to post some before/after pics sometime.
Very nice car, btw.

I got my interior professionally detailed and it made a world of difference--especially on the doorpanels and carpets. The seats are tricky to get old spots out (at least T2 seats).

Anyone who sees my car knows I don't really care about how it looks. Its past the point of looking nice so I just son't see the point. The main reason I cleaned the engine bay was because I wanted to work on my car but I didn't have any money to do anything. Oh well.

You sound like me. although mines not in SUCH a bad shape, I still clean it to give it a nice...semi-shine for a day.

I need to powerwash my whole engine bay, and just respray it. I really hope I can get some time away from work to finish tearing down my engine and get it running again. I don't even car about streetporting it, or any mods right now. I just want the car running. Everytime I go outside and see it sitting there I miss driving it and it makes me hate my nissan sentra dd so much more haha.
