Is there a link that anyone has with a "How-to" on this subject? I want to recarpet the FD, all myself, without buying a kit. Thanks.

ummm, pull the old one out, put the new one in???



take out the seats, and rear bins first. then you have a choice. either take out the dash, or cut the rug where it meets the dash under the tranny tunnel. you can cut it high up enough that no one will ever see where you cut it

Used black carpet is expensive. They usually sell for about $350 -400. I will have one for sale soon. Tan is worthless, as no one wants it. I sold one for $100 once.
