Seats recovered / New Carpet installed
Finally got new carpet installed and my seats recovered. Did the carpet myself with help from my neighbor and paid to have the seats done. Both seats and carpet are black...for some reason the pics look a little blue.
Wanted to share a few pics. Very happy with the way it all turned out. I used a "technical" fabric on the seats. I first had experience with it in a FJ Crusier I owned. It's tough and so much cooler than vinyl or leather. Perfect for a car with no A/C.    In the Sun   regards, Mike

Nice job! Did you find the carpet install to be something reasonable for the average DIY guy, or is there more to it than that? What kind of carpet did you use?

Nicely done. I'm interested in what you used for "technical fabric". Can you share the mfg/type of the fabric?

The quality of the seat recovering has almost brought a tear to my eye. It is perfect!
Good job and nice car.
