So - my car has not been cleaned for months. Okay, nearly a whole year.
Needless to say there is moss growing in places unimaginable, even mold on the seat belts and tools thrown here, there and everywhere in Miss Pug.
As a direct result of the latter, I have lost my winder from the original scissor jack.
I am going to pack away my sockets into the right specified places in the boxes, and tidy up the tools a lot. I need to give her an extremely deep clean but a good clean tomorrow should ease the cleaning load a little. I want to focus on the interior tomorrow.
I will tidy and put away the tools, I will scrub the mold off the seat belts and seats and I will hoover the sexy car out. IF I get around to it I may well try and wash the outside of her, but with no hose pipe or proper sponge - that may break ones back. I remember the last time I did it lol. I want to perhaps wait for the pressure washer to accomplish the outside.
I am actually looking forward to making her go from a car, littered with tools and signs of neglect to making her gleam and shine again. It may not make much difference as it's all on the inside but it will matter to me, I want to show her I love her and I respect her, I want people to look at her and go 'WOW, look at that, what a fine example of the 406 right there'

| With the seats removed I can access all those 'hard to reach' areas the vacuum wouldn't usually reach. |
 |
| These tools need to be put away tomorrow, all sockets need to be put away in their correct location within the socket box, all spanners put back in their place, everything needs a home! |

| Passenger footwell: Every where is littered with tools and a little rubbish! |
I am looking forward to starting on this task tomorrow. I will of course take pictures and post them when I am done, with such a huge job to do, I may only manage half a jobs worth, I definitely have my work cut out.
If feeling adventurous tomorrow and wanting to be mechanical, I may tackle the ABS sensor retaining bolt, let's see how my back and stomach feels tomorrow....... (long story, injured myself today with the caliper mounting bolt).
P.s - anyone in the area wanting to offer elbow grease, feel free.............
