Well, finally hit some stumbling blocks. The carpet kit had a lot of pieces that didn't make sense to me on where they went, so I've decided to outsource it. I don't want to mess up and have to look at a screw up for the next few years. I attempted the upholstery myself, and you can see how poorly that went. Put foam down to replace the carpet jute on one of the rear quarter panels, then used 3M foam glue with marine vinyl. Soooo lumpy. I obviously used the wrong type of foam. Tried again without foam and it looked decent for a bit, but then the vinyl pulled away. I decided to just outsource this stuff too and dropped it all off today at a shop. Should get it back at the end of next week and will post pics then.
In the mean time, I replaced the hood struts with heavy duty ones from our host. You can see one of the old with the new in the pic below. They work great! I can leave the broom handle at home now.
