(3/15/01): The final carpeting step! Took
a little time, but I got the rear seat bottom out, and the rear seat back
out. I then had to remove the upper 2 mounts that hold my engine cage
(baja bumper) on, and support it.
Here's what it looked like once I got pretty much done ripping all the layers of
carpeting off, and scraping some of the glued padding off. You will notice
I left the original tarboard on the package tray.
Here's the old padding. There was 2 layers of carpeting and 2 layers of
padding... Everything together must have weighed 40 pounds!
Once I got the rear wheelwells padded, I went ahead and carpeted them.
Then I glued in the package tray padding. That lower piece of padding is a
piece I fabbed up (was laying around in the garage).
All
that hard work, and only 3 inches of it show! Oh well... It looks great,
and despite weighing less than the old stuff, it does its job just as well!
(still relatively quiet inside too!)
Just a few more pics of the interior:
That's it for now!
