par Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Well folks, first annual is complete and the new carpet along with some other goodies is installed. I ended up having the local upholstery shop cover my cracking and ugly plastic window frames with headliner material. The new look is a whole lot better than it used to be. As far as the carpet goes, I bought it from airtex and it took 3 weeks to arrive. Some of that had to do with x-mas. While it was cut well, it was not an exact fit and I had to make cuts to get it to fit properly. Some of the ends needed to be bound and rebound as well after I made the cuts to fit. My panels also have carpet at the bottom which had to be redone. The upholstery shop took care of that as well. To attach the carpet to the floor, I removed the belly panels and drilled holes into the carpet and floor at at any corner where I could. It is perfectly secure and the seats move freely. I did not have a chance to do the carpet around the nose gear well so that will be a project for another day. I will add some pictures later today. Edited January 29, 2016 by par Quote

I'm about to do something for my interior and am looking at the options out there. Bruce's interior, the Trenton boys, giving Hector my kid's semester's tutition or being the true Cheap Bast$&d and trying to find a local shop to do the upholstery and doing one of the cheaper plastic options.
