Thanks to all of you, I am making slow but steady progress with my restoration. The rain has not allowed me to do some of the work I would like to do yet, but I am still hoping to drive this summer.
I need some help on the carpet installation. Do any of you have any tips on carpet installation? For instance, what type of glue do you use? Is the tunnel section put in with the snaps, or is it more practical to glue it in place? I know it could not be totally glued as there has to be access to the rubber plugs for the transmission. Is the carptet installed first and then the handbrake bolted in over the top of the carpet, or do you have to cut this area out? Is the carpet normally installed before the panels are put in? I do not have any padding - does this car normally have any padding installed behind the carpet, and if so, where is it placed? Any thoughts or tips would greatly be appreciated.
