Here's a couple more shots of the carpet install and the tools for the job. Pic of the steering column and the simple little cut to let the carpet up around it.

 

Next time around I'll be prepared to do this job and knock it out in alot less time.

Once you KNOW where to do all the relief cuts your golden'. 

 

*Note: As mentioned here on the FAQ before add a soldering iron to that 'kit' for poking nice clean holes that will not FRAY'

 

Also still STRUGGLING to get the DOOR SILLS to 'click' into place!!!!!!

 

 Anyone else have this problem after a carpet job? It's killing me..I need to move on to fininshing the BUFF'!

Umm...I don't think @iinca is a Princess.  I could be wrong or misunderstanding the comment.  Help me out here.

Interior looks very very nice. Love the colors. Well done.

After installing Esty's carpet kit in the last car I couldn't get the door sills to clip into place either.  Turns out I was trying to install them backwards.  Flipped them around and they snapped right on. 

[iinca]

What the hell? Really...ok I'll try that 

 

BUT

 

one spot might still give me trouble...where the carpet is overlapped

Don’t draw conclusions based on a member’s avatar. Iinca’s is a photo of his granddaughter... ?

Let's do some more polishing!

 

I lost my best newest cleanest water bottle and motor when my car was pilfered during the spring.

 

 I found another bottle and motor for $20 bux here on the faq. Today I combined my last nice water bottle and the motor from that transaction

 

It took me about an hour of cleaning with rough and fine steel wool + grease cleaner for the nasty hose. The hammer was for tapping the motor on and off the bottles

That’s a mighty white reservoir!  Did you apply the steel wool to that?
