I really would like to make some carpet fit to shape for the front and back where the rear seats were. The kids of the previous owner did what is there in, stains, gum etc. The rear carpet has already hit the dumpster. I called a supply house for the auto carper and it's $12 a yard x 40" (plus shipping). I do have access to use of a industrial sewing machine and the ability to have the edges bound at a local contact of mine (business associate) in the industrial tarp business. So the final look I'm going for will be a nice one, I hope). I have some samples from the supplier and they don't look bad. I was thinking a dark gray color to hide the dirt better than the yellowish tan color that's there now. >> fyi, i got some brown/ tan carpet for sale. also, have you taken it out, and taken it to those do-it-yourself car washes, and pressurewashed it off????? you will be SURPRISED...what a hi-pressure washer and some shampoo can do... chris |
