Ive got most of the interior out, found a couple of big ants nests behind the dash :-\ Just got to take the rear seats out and then the carpet can come out and try to clean it, Anyone know the best way to clean moldy  fabric?

I'd be tempted to just redo the headlining.  It'll be all stained regardless how much waterblasting and mold killing you do.  Mid you, the waterblaster will rip it right off I think.

Plan is to clean the interior, new suspension bushes, shocks, lowering, and then a 10vt. When the guy had it a pine cone dropped on the windscreen right where it had a chip and cracked it and he had the 20v coupe so he just parked it under the trees and left it to rot, Would have been a nice car if he had looked after it. Have not seen any other gold ones and with tan interior
