Tore the back doors apart and cleaned the door lock rods and little plastic guides, then sprayed some white lithium grease on them. Now they both unlock when I hit the fob or the unlock switch.

The front driver's door didn't go as well, and I'm pretty sure my actuator is going out.

Still on the fence about wether to put these Moog parts on or just trying to sell it. I guess we will see what this motor medic flush does.

I need to replace the abs wire on the front passenger side. It looks like it's been cut, so idk if it was an accident, or if they cut it because it was causing some other kind of problem.

Started cleaning the seats yesterday, interior code is 922, I need to order some dye and try to fix the driver's seat.
You can see how dirty they are, I used a toothbrush to clean most of it...

To clean all the dirt out there's actually a toilet bowl cleaner that works amazing at getting all the dirt out. I forget what it's called now-- @Rocket Man? Once it's used you'll need to use leather conditioner.

The stuff I'm using seems like carpet cleaner, it's tuff stuff multipurpose cleaner. Seems to work pretty good.

I got tired of this lumbar thing jabbing me, and my wife had the roll of duct tape out so I had to try something different. Stuffed in some foam and glued in an upside down piece of vinyl, then glued a piece of vinyl to the center and trimmed around to fit the hole. If it holds up then I will do the bottom of the seat and get the colormatch dye.

I didn't look, but my buddy said they were expensive. If I have brand new seats I will probably be a butthead to the kids when they spill something too, lol. Or just ban food and drinks, and I don't really want to do that.

I grabbed an exhaust clamp off of Amazon for 16 bucks today. AutoZone wanted 43 for the same one lol. Went ahead and grabbed my buddy one too, hopefully it works on his headers.
