So I am in the process of tearing down my Hemi GTX and I realized a few things.
1. The interior parts are in really nice shape, 90% of the plastic is in fantastic shape, could use a little cleaning and maybe a couple pieces need to be re-dyed.
2. The rear ashtrays were surface rusted but I was able to buff that all off and get the mirror like chrome back like new. Even the arm rest bases were in excellent shape.
3. I also could not believe that when I bought the car the previous owner had provided me with the original build sheet (which is awesome). But when I took the interior apart I found a second build sheet under the rear seat. I was not expecting that and it matches the other, except it has more rust lines from the seat springs.
The reason I started the thread is to ask a question. Looking at the picture, the carpet cleaned up really nice with a shop vac. I have not wet cleaned them with a shampoo or anything, but I am looking for opinions. Should I replace it so it is perfect? I am leaning towards keeping it since it is the original carpet to the car and I think that is really cool. What are your thoughts?
