You start with the "want the original look with carpet etc." target and will find yourself in a car that is loud as hell, without heat or air conditioning a few years later.
And you also paid lots of money for that lack of comfort...
Happened to me and my coupe.
I'm curious about your result.... Have fun
A good point about noise.

Before buying current car, test drove a chipped 86 Carrera Street/track car stripped of all sound deadening, super lowered with a competition suspension, integrated roll bar, etc. After driving it for 5 mins the enjoyment of a fastish car was trumped by how noisy, stiff and generally uncomfortable it was. Passed on it immediately since am not a fan of ear plugs and back aches. What a wimp.

Removed my engine sound pad but left the rest.
