Put in my new carpet today, put it my new dash pad last week, overhead console is in but need a little tweeking.

What do you think about putting my window switches in my overhead console some how if they'll fit and getting the peice that the 4th gen console originally had w/ the ash tray and all?

 

floor boards look good for being almost 20 years old with leaky t-tops being from Jersey dont they?

 

hmmm which one next, wanna compare old and new?

 

wow!! you did alot of work

 

New Carpet?

 

How much change ($) did you find on the tear-down?

 

See the overhead console?

 

Me and the competition

 

Looks good, fix that nose yet?

 

actually none, but thats cause sometimes, maybe once a month or so, I take my seats out when I vacuum the car, YES I am crazy.

the old carpet didnt look nearly that bad when it was in the car.

 

yeah, the nose is all fixed, I think this one shows the best, I'll post this pic, and find the one of the damage and post that to compare.

 

that other pic my paint looks wierd from the flash but its great.

heres what it was like

 

Nice work.

 

Looks much better now, I hated seeing that pic when you crashed it.

And you're not crazy for removing the seats... I do it now and then too

 

Looks a ton better w/ the new carpet. Now you just need new kick panels lol its a never ending project!! Does you dad have a construction business or do roofs or something. Just asking because of the break hanging on the wall. Anyway car looks great keep up the good work!!

 

its at my GF's house, her grandfather is a contractor and her dad works for him.

 

Looks, nice........I'm in the process of installing a new black interior in my car.......(carpet, console, plastic)

What made you stay with gray and not go black?

The car looks nice what are you planning for it?

 

Looks damn good.
I pulled my carpet out the other day and my floor pan isn't too bad, some rust, but I in the process of POR'ing it.

Your floorpan looks new.

I ordered it at a car show in carlisle so it was cheap, got it for 106 with shipping, I think the place was called like legendary interiors or something like that.

I almost fainted when I pulled up the carpet, I was expecting SOME rust.

I wanted to keep it as it is, just update it, and my carpet was bad. Im gonna detail my engine bay then I may be in High Performance Pontiac Magazine. The editor told me he was interested but wanted new carpet and cleaner engine bay. I think it was a bunch of BS, but we'll see.

 

Wowowowowowowo. wow. The floorpan looks new, but is not. I wish I had a playstation in a car for the trip to Dayton Ohio. It was an 8 hour drive. Nice job. Quite an upgrade from the stock piece.

 

Playstation!?!

Why when I was a kid, you were lucky if you had a tape deck in your car. Back then only the rich kids had CD players.

 

I LIVE in Dayton, OH and I didn't make it :-/

You better believe I'll be there next time.

TV? Where? I don't see it.

 

very nice. Ill be posting pics liek this soon as well......cept mine will be flame red!!

 

TVs in the dash next to the map holder. Looks great 86, how long did it take you? Also, did you put back the "jute" or what ever that multicolor stuff is, or did you just put down the carpet to the floor pan? Thanks, once again, nice job-Bryan

 

my new carpet had that sh** on it allready, that is a PITA to cut through. Carpet cuts easy, almost to easy, but that sh** on the back is impossible.

 

How long did it take you b/c i have my carpet sitting here in my living room. Just want to get a time est. thanks

 

I started around hmmmmmm 2 or 3, and was done around 6:30, As you can see I had alot of wires for my cd changer, amp, and playstation to play with.

I had to disconnect every one of them cause I was to lazy to pull my old carpet up before so there was an area under the one back seat where they came up so I had to disconnect them all.

I have never done it, but my girlfriends dad expected me to be in the driveway 'till 10-11 and I had it done by 6:30 with it requiring extra work and having no experience. soooooo... start in the morning or around noon and you'll be good. have no problem

 

Looks real good!:hail:
When I first saw those floorboards I was like"Yup...must of just painted them or somethin" But man...those floorboards are mint!
Question about your wires...Did you just lay them across on top of the carpet inside the console? or are they underneath the carpet? Just wondering cause Im gonna do mine and since everything will be out which is the best/easiest way of doing it.

 

Thanks a lot! I was expecting over 3hrs, so we'll see. take it easy-Bryan

 

if you'll see, I have a box with RCA's and some other wires going into it, thats so I can hook up my Playstation and CD changer into my head unit. I laid some of the old carpet padding that was under the old carpet under that stuff so it didnt rattle against the floor boards and also under where the playstation controllers plug into the extension cords. just so sh** doesnt rattle on the metal. then ran the wires under the carpet and up through the console.

Once you put the new carpet in, its easier to bring it up to put wires underneath, factory carpet is like glued down. mine isnt now so if have to change or add something, I take the seat out, take the side trim out, fold it back, do what I gotta do, slap it back together.

 

What competition, I see an awesome bird and a grocery getter...? Maybe im lost..

 

lol, good point.

 

Speaking of you should enter that thing in a car show. And get that new WWF Shut your mouth.

 

huh? what was the 2nd part of that, was that sarcastic about entering a car show?
