That's some awesome tear down you've done. Mine could do with the same treatment, but I've not got the time to invest right now. I'd love to see more as you go.

Looking good!

Is that a carpet kit or did you use regular carpet and cut it to fit, including forming it somehow?

I`d like to ask where you got the carpet, the fit seems excellent. I`ve seen mixed results and don`t really want to order one without any idea how good the fit is.

Sorry for the late response, I got the carpet from Stockinteriors.com, I think I paid $120 shipped.

Very nice, that and your seats must be a near flawless interior.

The drivers seat is the only bad seat, it's ripped pretty bad.
