I started by vacuuming the carpets only to find out I had to pull the seats. After pulling the seats I found the center console needed to be pulled. After that I found I needed to pull the carpet to clean the pad. After that I found I needed to clean the metal pan. I don’t know how anyone could keep their car this dirty. I’m not going to be able to save the carpet and I’m going to need to source a clean used carpet.

What the car looks like now:

I am now the owner of a 1998 Volvo V70 AWD Pewter Silver/Light Taupe. This will be an ongoing project with plans to this becoming a daily driver. I purchased the car on Saturday January 21, 2017 for a whopping $250. The car will need a head gasket (milk shake oil), timing belt kit with water pump, PCV breather system, accessory belt, all coolant hoses, plugs, wires, and cap/rotor. I need to do what the Volvo guys call Stage 0. Once I have the head removed I will be able to see if the car needs a head rebuild. The car also need some serious interior cleaning and a left front fender.
