I think if I could get the grey green in a german square weave, I would prefer that but I have such a difficult time straying from stock. I guess that's why your project is so interesting to me. subscribed.

The queen approves...


I totally "get" remaining stock. To me, my choices were Either ...complete stock look OR Pimp my Ride do it my way. By buying a "driver" not a concours Car, I feel comfortable mod'ing it out to suit my wacky tastes and needs. My kids used to be embarrassed by my quirkiness, but they are older now so it doesn't matter.

I like the look of your car and think the gray green carpet from Lakewell would be awesome. I know of NOONE who does a gray green square weave. I dont think that color existed those years. That being said I have decided on a deep red square weave with my Fortuny as the edging. I couldn't find Gray green Leather to match my original. I should have cut the leather(vinyl) off my carpet before I threw it away but didn't....I assumed there would be an easy match (NOT).


I am still trying to decide what to do with the seats - I am tempted to use the leather border and inset my fabric in the center panels,.... What do y'all think?
