As you can see from the pics the carpets should be a dark blue, but have faded to a nasty green colour, so full replacement of these should be done by the weekend door cards and seat will then come after this. thats if i can find the bolts to stick the seats back in.
If anyone can link me to a place to buy the seat bolts for front of the runners would be really appreciated.

ebay. get some A2 stainless bolts, 75mm partially threaded cap head ones IIRC. Using the cap head bolts you can cut an old allen key down to fit the top between the bolt and the seat, makes the job of taking the seats in/out simples.

Ref the bolts if you have access to or know someone with a welder get them to tack weld the bolt to the seat frame. It saves a lot of hassle for the future either for you ore the future owner. I had the same issue when I put the flat floor in the Tamora.... tacking the bolt made the job so much easier when re fitting.

No just stripped it all myself, the cutting of the carpets and the fitting I'm leaving for a guy in port Solent who makes boat covers, seats and general marine upholstery. He said he done a few Tvrs before. He is also stitching in a new rear window. Will also get him to change the felt on the door cards and seats to leather.
Yeh I would get the bolts tack welded in place but don't know anyone with a welder, will get some hex head bolts off eBay.
Oh and yeah the carpets were originally dark blue, as you can see very faded and needed doing as they were starting to get very tatty.
Will get pics up as soon as its all back together.
