Shaun, the car is looking GEORGEOUS!! So nice.

Looks like cut pile carpet, as opposed to loop, is that right? And the seat covers look new. Are they vinyl or leather?

And nice idea to keep the doors off while you're fitting the interior. I'll keep that in mind :mrgreen:

Well it looks like very nice work. And your assembly looks great.

You are about 18 months ahead of me; I'm envious. Best of luck. It's going to be great :mrgreen:

Shaun, the car is looking great.

Re the sill/side carpet, did you shave the carpet that folded onto the floor pan?
This would improve the floor carpets fit and replica my original sill/side carpet.

As your carpet set came from Sue Miller, as mine did, then the carpet is a cut pile and not loops.
My original carpet was a loop pile; just about make it out on the attachment.

Also I note that the roof lining is now fitted, is it ok?

How exciting, you are not far off from completing, well done. :D :D
