I have a slight sag in my rear
I have found Mr Clean Magic Erasers to work wonders as well on interior parts and pretty much anything else.

I had the motorsport B springs which were Eibach pro's on my Tigger car. I was never happy with the drop out of the box. I ended up cutting the dead coil off the rears and probably another half coil or so off the front to get the car to where I was happy with it. I went sportline when I did my wifes 00 GT which I was happy with out of the box. It should settle a bit more when you get some miles on it. Looks good 
Picked up a couple Strattec replacement keys with Ford branding. $19 each key. $6 to cut the two of them.
Loaded up ForScan on my laptop, and 15 mins later I had three programmed keys. VERY easy to do and total cost was $46 for the two additional keys

Ended up pulling the door panel out along with kick panel and door sill. I did a decent job cleaning those up, but they still looked a tad grimey.
Took advantage of the LmR 7% sale and ordered some more cans of paint. Going to prep this up and redye it.
My plan is the NOS carpet, redyed door panels, and sill/scuff panels and console should freshen up the interior. Already did the rear quarter panels.
Going to do the center bezel in silver like the IUP cars when I do the DD conversion and 01+ console. Still haven’t gone junkyard hopping yet.
You can see the grime at the rear top of the panel. It was much worse when i got the car. Going to clean up first with that Mold Armor spray first, and then prep for paint
Nice fresh door panel. Off to do the other side now
Did the other side. Looked so fresh and new that I decided to keep going.
Everything removed is redyed. Gonna grab some plastic to mask off the dash and spray the light portion in place. Not going to do the dark portion. I don’t think pulling the dash will be worth it.
Once I get that all set, carpet and seats are coming out so I can install the NOS carpet and start to recover the seats.
Still haven’t gone to junkyard to get a parchment 01+ console yet

I'm pretty sure he said that this was going to be a full restoration with '04 updates, as well as some serious performance upgrades.Now what did he say when he got this ride?
Springs/shocks were a slight deviation, but I’m pretty much right on track.
I like clean interiors. After this, only mechanical mod is to ditch the dorman aftermarket intake and get the ford Pi intake back on.
Finaly thing I’ll do here is cut and buff the paint. Really want to see if I can get the shine back.
We will keep it through next summer and then make a decision as to what to do with the car then.

Here’s a good pic showing the deep grime on these panels.
This is where the airbag sits. You can see how it’s clean and fresh under the airbag (to the right) but the main dash has deep grime in the texture. Despite many products used, I can’t get it out
So my solution. The prep is the longest part

Get yourself a small steam cleaner, like $30 on Amazon, and it will really help get the gunk out of the small hard to reach spots without harsh chemicals.
Onto the other side.
Backside of steering wheel is just disgusting. Time to clean this up.

Redye complete. Time to pull the carpet and seats.
Yeah hard to tell difference from pics but it just looks clean. Hopefully the NOS carpet will add to that.

Out with the old.
You can see how faded it is
Used up some remaining kilmat and foam insulation. Figured I’d toss some in the tunnel to knock down heat intrustuon

It should look like a 68K Garage Queen by the time you get it all done.
The seat carnage still amazes me for such low miles.
