wet interior and a parking garage and not driving for 3 weeks... HELP!

What do you get when you mix a Vert with a bad top, wet interior, a under ground parking garage and no need to take a drive it for 3 weeks? F*** MOLD!!! I thought I had cooked the car dry... I was wrong!

So now I am vary much in need a new interior, I cant even sit in the damn car cuz the seats are all fuzzy, the E-brake is fuzzy, the stearing well is fuzzy, the dash and doors are fuzzy, the carpet is well fuzzy and its not the good kind... the whole damn inside is fuzzy and don't even get me started on the smell.

I am almost all out of cash so I have nothing to pay with. I hate to ask for freebies but I really don't have any other option she is my only car. I need help guys I cant drive her like this, any suggestions or help at all will be vary appreciated.

I put almost the this same thing up on RX7club.com, I am hoping that maybe by a off shot that someone here might have put some raceing seats in there 8 and now had a spare set of RX8 seats laying around (if your down and your asking why not ask for what you like, right? cus you never know when your going to get lucky)

Thanks guys.

I heard orange peels and coffee grounds in a coffee can works well to the smell out. Buy a can of Foldgers and some oranges and give it try

Left the sunroof of my subie baja open during 36 hours of rain. Took me forever to get the smell down to an acceptable level, but it never goes away...and it only sat for 36 hours. i cant imagine the damage from 3 weeks of being a mold incubator.

And as for the seats, are you asking someone to GIVE you the seats? I have a driverside seat and will soon have a pass side, but there is actual money involved.

As for being given seats... I was hoping the stars were aligned right and a pig flew in front of my window haha. I was not thinking about getting free seats but maybe cheap or come up with some pay plan yes.

maybe if it was a new car like a 8 or had done work to the interior ya maybe, but a stock 91' vert with that damn blue interior would just would not be worth it. my insurance is nice and low right now so I would not want to mess with that.
