I was bored, and I had some time, so Saturday morning, bright and early, I set to work removing the interior on the 'scort for some DEEP cleaning. I had 2 goals to accomplish in performing this task:

#1- Fix anything broken that I found while removing the interior
#2- Locate the source of a HORRENDOUS FOUL ODOR that I could not pin down, and either remove it or clean it.

 

Much better. I nailed the smell (whatever it was) and to be honest, I was suprised it was not nastier than it was under all that. Just some dust. I have torn apart 5 year old cars that looked worse than this one.

 

impressive deep clean

 

Wow - now that is a true interior detail!

 

I only found a few issues. The E-Brake needed adjusted (easier with the console out) so I did that, then the trunk/fuel door release lever was loose, so I tightened it down. Other than that, she was pristine.

Not sure what caused the smell, but its gone now!

 

Good lordy, how many hours for this exemplary job? Way beyond deep cleaning !!
