Looks like I'll be redoing the seats and carpets and could use some advice on how to approach the carpet side of things. The car is an older IM from 1983. The carpet on the side walls and rear / back seat are surprisingly decent. The floor carpets and drivers side door sill and tunnel carpets are shot. I might as well replace everything. But...the newer IM carpets won't fit, Vintage and Beck sell carpets but they likely won't fit either. I visited local Auto Upholstery shops before the accident and they licked their collective lips and wanted mega bux for a new, custom made set.
Has anyone ever done their own carpet set using old carpets as a template ? I can get bindery work done for almost nothing thru a friend. Any particular brand, weight of carpet I should look for ? Recommends for glue ? Ideas...? New seat covers, dash and door side covers shouldn't be a problem. Thanks.
