Re: My Black MK1 UT thread

done a bit more to the uno today, stripped all of the interior and most of the plastic trim inside to be cleaned, and fitted the lock on the drivers door, need to go the scrappy to get a few more bits of the mechanism but should be sorted tomorrow,

anyone know the best way to clean the carpet, doorcards and seats? have looked into gettin a steam cleaner but is there any other ways?

I've also added some pictures of something very rare with a uno turbo? see who can guess first lol!

Not the red seatbelts as the UT didn't come with them as standard (probably from a Cinq Sporting?)

I reckon it's the photo of the inside of the door showing the bottom of the electric window motor and a distinct lack of...

I'll leave it for someone else to confirm my suggestion

Re: My Black MK1 UT thread

Once I refurb and add my Strada rims I'll be in touch so sell the OZ ones. I'm pretty certain the Uno Turbo comes with Red Seat Belts. All the mk 1 unos I had, had red belts...

What could it be??? either its that you have 2 ashtrays or no rust ;-)

I cleaned my carpet using carpet cleaner, a bucket and scrubbing brush followed by a hose etc, did it in the back garden. Upholstery cleaner, a brush and sponge should bring the door cards and seats up nice.

Re: My Black MK1 UT thread

When you say rare! do you mean intact rear strut tops, and floor panels intact, if all the interior is out i used white spirit the clean all rubbers and plastic (worst part as were realy green and it worked well) but wear gloves, and I steam cleaned the cards, seats and carpet with my friends jet wash! with a little spray of tfr (realy clean after years of non use) then left to dry in the hot hot sun, turned out like new! and still looks as good as a new car, the ut interior is very durable, amazes me when i ever get to drive it, how fresh it still is at 15 years old! good work! she looks very nice!! Ant!

Correction. The mk2 UT interior is very durable, the mk1 UT interior will fall to bits unless looked after!

Re: My Black MK1 UT thread

it was in fact the pictures of the inside of the doors which are infact completely rust free!

the red seatbelts are standard in the mk1 turbo's thought you'd know that already 198645s!

did some more work with the car tonight not much i started cleaning up the footwells of the old sound deadening, seeing as its not going to be a stripped out racer of a UnoT i'm going to get some new sound deadening before i fit the interior all back in,

I've got myself a steam cleaner from halfords and plan to use the pressure washer also to clean seats, carpet and doorcards.

whats the best thing to use on the plastic trim? mine are all really dirty from dust and crap .

Soap and water, plus a soft scrubbing brush if necessary. Then use back to black and a silicone spray like Amorall.

Re: My Black MK1 UT thread

If you mean the tar stuff then any motorfactor. If you mean the horrible felt sponge stuff don't do it, holds water. Maybe some acoustic foam might be better somewhere like woolies

Re: My Black MK1 UT thread

nice job on the doors!! defo worth it if you have minty doors ((lucky sod))..

if you mean that heavy sticky tar stuff, yes its good, use a hairdrier to make sure its dry and tacky when it sticks. then hopefully no water will get underneath it.

a cheaper option may be to try and order some from a manufacturer for another car, then stick that in (cut and stick), rather than universal stuff.
