I'm still rockin' the tired elephant skin.   Some day I'll replace it with...what, I don't know.  I'm not sold on the new stuff.  Besides, I'm pretty rough on the trunk, still sliding crap around on a regular basis.

Pic from 2012.  No change since then.  Maybe a little more trashed.

What’s the matter with a little wear, Paul? ? My ‘76’s three front pieces — left, center, and right — eventually came loose, but I glued them back in after the Big Re-Paint! I’m following suit with the tii!

Below: first two photos are the ‘76’s pieces out and replaced (trunk mat hides center piece). The last two photos are the tii’s pieces out — yes, I had to strip the post-factory Malaga(?) from them!

 

Best regards,

Esty makes some nice trunk mats

I notice the hose clamps on the vacuum line to my brake booster on my ‘74 bear the roundel, I don’t see them anywhere else under the hood.

My car's trunk looks almost exactly the same.  At one point, a place was selling a trunk carpet, and they had a big sale on it, so I bought it.  This was probably the '90s.  I figured maybe it would protect the panels.  The carpet is nothing special to look at, I can tell you that.
