"the essentials, yes, the carpets, install etc, not a chance lol"

 

Those are the easy bit's, the carpet should take me no longer than a few hours to cut to shape, bond together and fit, and the ice install, (less the wiring, which will be done with the carpets) will proberbly take a full day ti fit.

 

I might start the carpet tomorrow. :)

I took my engine to get rebuilt this evening, been told I should have it back within a week ( Big thanks to DAZ fom Dub Shack) :D

 

Also took the RS's apart,which was a nightmare, endless undoing of bolts and then seperating the 3 peices :shock: for a while I was convinced they were glued.

good luck with its a big ask. If its a factory carpet, dead easy you won't any problems. If its custom made show quality one like mine it will take days to do even for a pro.

Hi all, just thought I'd show you lot how I've been getting on with the carpet.

 

I started taking the old carpet out at about 23:00 and have just called it a night 02:00 ish as I've got to be up for work at 6 :sleeping:

 

I manage to seperate the original carpet into 3 parts, Driver, passenger and rear, I then used these parts as templates on the new carpet.

 

After cutting the carpet in the house, I went back out to the car for a trial fitting.

 

I'm not finished yet but so far so good :D .
