random ‘accessories’ removed

I removed several accessories today and a couple of surprises. When I dropped the three panels that mount under the dash, I found this dangling:

I put the car in neutral and pressed it .. it turned over the engine.

So… I removed:

aftermarket fog lights and broken switch
aftermarket push button starter
aftermarket radio and speakers
aftermarket antenna wiring
various other taps on the battery and miscellaneous wiring .. there is probably more

This is one of the SAAB switches that would normally be mounted under the binnacle. I didn’t find the rocker portion though.

beneath the cookie monster seat covers

I didn’t want to look under the cookie monster seat covers until I had to. I was sure that the original fabric was worn, but I didn’t expect this!

The cookie monster seat covers were on top of another type of seat cover that was sort of like a burlap sack with a Santa Fe motif. The drivers side was basically the same but there was less duct work done on the rear seat.
