Thanks, my uncle had it painted vintage red, I think, a couple of years ago, which looks really good on that car.

So i put the car on jack stands and tried to take out the axles because one is broken and i noticed one brake rotor was missing and the other three discs were almost seized completely, probably why it took an hr to push in garage. then today i cleaned up some of the interior pieces.......and rat poop.

I cleaned the bins and washed the carpet inside them


I cleaned the nest and poop out from under neath of the bins.


cleaned and shined the door panels, which came out really good!


Then I tried to clean these up and had no luck


I also found these in the bins and have no clue what they are for

Those things you found in the bins are used to clip the edge of the bumpers onto the body.

Nice car!
