It's Ford blue, now that I have carpet I won't have to fix the rust in the floor.HaHa!,
I'm going to use dynamat on the floor then uderlay,the carpet came with under lay on it were the feet area is ,it's is a nice job,
I'll leave it out in the sun and the fold should come out,

How did it end up going Daz?
Did the fold come out ok?

Hi Lieth,
Yes it came out ok.
They are slow to ship to carpet,I questioned mine and he told me that it takes 10-14 days to process the order and make it,
I've been ordering abit stuff lately and shipping thru the post
delivery times are dragging out,

Did you change the heel pad on the carpet.

I started to make my dash pad today ,should have it laid up this weekend,

Hmmmmm interesting.... Are you going to make a full vinyl top like the LHD types or a carpet mat? I could be interested in carpet?

I will trim it with vinyl to match the rest of my interior.

Thank you Leith,
It's amazing what can be done with the help of beer!

My old friend beer, funny how he's friends with a lot of slick owners. Although I get a LOT more done with an old friend chivas regal, very helpful old chap!

Mr Bourbon he frequents my shed to,good bloke .

how did you go with your carpet,

Leeroy · Post by **Leeroy** » September 4, 2011, 7:19 pm

Still missing in action, I sent them a nasty email 2 weeks ago detailing how they took my payment immediately but over a month later no carpet and had never heard from them again! Apparently they forgot the mats and were waiting for them...

I'm not urgent for it, still waiting for the seats to come back, but I don't think their customer service is great. Hoping their energy goes into the carpet!

Thats sucks about the carpet, did you have the seat redone to original or did you tart it up abit.

I upolstered the dash pad today ,Here it is,

Very nice work

But why not just cover the dash insteade of making a pad?

Thanks Mike,
I did it this way so that it can be removed if need be.

Mate that's looks really good, you've done a great job an unique as well! Never seen a RHD slick with dash pad.

Seats, I've gone on the ranger buckets theme, but am using 2tone mustang sport seat trim. I'll take a pic when I get them back.
