Good Luck with ur project mang!

Ah, the build sheet. We had a '99 P71 all apart (and I mean all apart; ever see the thread on my dad's black P71 that we "clipped"?) and never found the build sheet. As you can tell from the pics, there isn't much else that could have been taken apart. I had the better part of the dash apart too, and never found the build sheet. So, either it was tossed out in a careless deconstruction (which is unlikely), or it was removed prior to our ownership...

As a matter of fact, we had a '98 taken apart to the same level, and never found the build sheet either. More than likely that sheet burned up though (the car was a burner...).

Thats a project, Jay, but you're off to a good start. I would coat the floor in something to prevent it from future rust. Unfortunately, you car has a tan interior, and every one I've ever seen has had unreasonably dirty seats. All the cars on Ebay with that color interior also seem to have strange stains on the seats (the front ones at least). I managed to pillage a set of nice dark grey seats from our parts car. They were mint (with 66K on the clock). I guess it depends on who owned it, but the tan seats always seem to be worn more.

If I were you, I'd try and find a carpet too. The rubber mat cars are great for vacuuming, but they are louder inside. The carpet provides a nice sound barrier, especially for road noise.

Anyway, they are nice cars. My Dad's P71 has been a great car thus far. The 3.55 gears are pretty nice too...

Oh yes, The strange stains in the front seats.....Its like the cops were like "Hey! Its one of them cars with tan seats....Lets smear axle grease on em!"

Last night I was using Boiling hot water in a spray bottle and mildew and soap scum remover, and a shop vac. It got out most of the tough stains.....But it needs a LOT of scrubbing still My arms felt like they were going to fall off.

Use Upholstery cleaner mang, It'll get all that crap out, without having to scrub the shit out of the seats.

My towncar seats were Junkyard Filthy when I first got em, after about 4 hours of scrubbing with Upholstery Cleaner, they are damn near as clean as the day they were made.

Woolite ftw.

Thats about all I have to say......Scrubbing still needed though....

[Dave84]

I think that's your advice for everyone

So you've noticed. LoL.

Put a "DOHC" 4.6 in there

I was thinking more like a DOHC 5.4...But if I was to spend money on that i'd like to start with one a bit newer

[The Famous Lee]

How's it coming along???

[interceptor1985]

How's it coming along???

I needs a few more parts....

And I went to the paint shop yesterday, $310 for a gallon of PPGblack that I want....WTF!

I think I'll just use waterver brand they got at the body shop....

[The Famous Lee]

just for a gallon? hmm... I'm going to take babyblue in to get an estimate to find out if I have my friend to the body work to the area I'm not replacing, and doing the primer. see how much it'd cost to have it repainted the same color. I don't paint myself, don't have the skills, gun, or area to do it myself lol.

Good luck on the project...it'll work

Woolite ftw.

Thats about all I have to say......Scrubbing still needed though....

thats what i used on that 79. seats were supposed to be blue but when i got it they were damn near black. Worked great tho...with a little elbow grease

[interceptor1985]

I have now upgraded from woolite to bissel carpet and upholstery steam cleaner works awesome.....Pics soon to come.....When it gets dry

[The Famous Lee]

Eagerly awaiting pics, but you were right about the cheap ass paint job, that shit's pathetic it's like they don't care about their cruisers, the police down here, keep their squad cars spotless inside and out.

[biglinc1]

talked to a guy who bought a 98 CVPI and the paint is shitty looking but the inside looks like new. He bought it at a state auction
