Garage
Daily driver certainly changes the game. It's my toy and didn't hurt my feelings to have it torn all apart in the garage for the hottest, wettest months of an Alabama summer.

I can see the carpet being simply replaced easily over a good weekend of work, assuming you don't uncover floorboards that needed attention like I did. Even then you could disassemble and repair one weekend and ride with no carpet 1 week till you could install new next weekend.

Other parts of the project could handily be done bit by bit while it stays on the road. Biggest thing kept mine off was I took out the windshield to redo the dash and had the seats all apart recovering.

I like the pride of getting it done myself and tend to dump the $ saved on someone else's labor on more upgrades
