the body? nah i never painted it. as a matter of fact its super dirty.. i havent washed it since the summer. i think im gonna wash it today and drive it around.

I got a question.. my seats look really dirty. looks like mold.. black spots. its from sitting there a looong time. haha anyone know how to clean the seats really good? the seats and the padding have the mold.

question. its pretty noobish. but the voltage gauge keeps jumping.. badly. goes from slighty below the middle to all the way in the red below 8. shouldnt this be the alternator going out or no?

The padding is a tough call and may need replacing, but the cover material is likely mildew, not mold. Go to a local boating supply shop & pick up some marine grade mildew remover. It's nasty stuff but should get the job done. Or dissolve your seats, but hey, the mildew would be gone, right? Try it on the padding as well as it will at least kill it and keep it from growing anymore.

While you're in there you may want to look into getting a small package of fiberglass mat and some resin+hardener, if that section flexes too much the bondo might just crack as well.
