While it's gutted any suggestions?

I have gutted the old brown and am replacing with black, Is there any additional things I should look at or do prior to the carpet set install.

US spec - not lowered yet

I'm not trying to be a dick, but what happened to your door?

For the best bond between the new carpet and the interior you have to remove all that old glue. Yellowish orange in color, that way when you spray the new glue it will bond well and wont lift. I used lacquer thinner, fans for ventilation and a respirator, lots of scrapers and time. If you dont want to remove the sound deadening at leas lift it up and check for moisture and rust. From your pics it looks like most of the sound deading is gone, cant tell though. Look everywhere for rust after you clean all the glue off. Check over and over again, get rid of any moisture, rust kills. Car looks very nice though, hope you didnt buy the heavy carpet, haha.

It looks like you've taken it down to the metal in several places.
Now would be the time to get rid of all the rust and seal it up with a good epoxy paint or POR15 just to mak sure.
My 70 had hidden surface rust starting underneath the floor tar which was scraped up and replaced with new tar strips followed by paintable undercoating (the non-drying type was a mess) Nice job so far.

a few lbs of Dynamat will quiet some street and tranny noise.

I didn't even plan on taken the old glue off, I would have probably just gone over, but I will remove. I have already chipped away at the floor tar and found some surface rust in areas. I guess that means I should lift the rear sound tar as well. It's got cracks here and there anyway.

CConor - The picture makes the right door look worse than it really is. The grocery store saga (idiots) and it's not quite right. Eventhough matching color code.

thanks guys
