Hey All,

As promised, here are some photos of the new carpets in the wedge.

All done except for the final over mats which i need to measure and send off for binding a foot plates.

Anyway, Before and afters!!
Drivers footwell

And a couple of others



Really chuffed with the finish! A lot of work but SUCH a difference to the whole feel of the car!!

Coverdale will do anything you want, but the problem i had is that if you are going to do half a job, you might as well do the lot!

well 90% of it is fine. it's just the drivers mat that is fooked.

Plus got 100 other things to do. 1st. so a full job is out of the question.

If you send them measurements, or your old mat, they will make a new one exactly the same! Send both and they will match!

Got 'em from ACT in January.Its been a nightmare, my starter motor is nonstandard and so the clearance had to be adjusted, took 3 attempts and a sledge hammer.But when you come to do urs give me a shout and in exchange for beers I'll come over and give you a hand cos I damn good at getting them in and out now, ehem!!Highly recommend ACT, Tim is very helpful. Once the MOT is sorted I should be on the road, problem is the car is in Brighton still so takes ages to get anything done around work.

Oooh, Got to ask: How many pennies did the whole thing set u back??

Coolio, well manifolds are definatly something on the list of 'things i want to do' and im not very patient!!

Beer tokens are indeed the finest method of payment! Maybe we should drop the pound, and go for beer! More investment potential than the Euro...!!! hehe

Carpet wise, i went to coverdale and got a 'kit' although if im honest, i should have just gone for rolls of carpet! It wasnt their fault, they didnt have a pattern and my old ones were so shot, they guessed and made everything much better so i could trim! Sounds easy but the wedge has so many lifts, bumps, gaps etc...its not too 'hard' more a LOT of patience and singing to yourself in the garage!

The kit (everything you need except over mats) and also spare carpet for any mistakes, including binding came to £257.50. On top of that, lots of stanley blades, 10 litres (and i almost ran out!!) of Evostick 528 (@ £20 a pop from screwfix) and a solvent mask! You really REALLY need this mask BTW! Great advice from edcrouch!

Basically £300...thumbup

Sounds like some well spent spondoolicks!!I need to save for a garage in the back garden but I think carpet is next on my list seeing how much life it puts into the car.
