John S's Journal

I took advantage of a Black Friday sale that Prestige Autotrim was running and ordered a set for the GT. I still have a few things to do yet to make the car ready for the road like pulling the water pump to fix a leaky gasket and doing a little more work on the brakes. They are just a little soft yet so further bleeding is necessary. Back to the carpet though. It’s been on my list since I acquired the car and when I saw that I could get 30% off, I figured I would pull the trigger and then get to the installation when I had the time. I’d say that it’s a good Winter project but an un-heated garage isn’t the most motivating environment so we’ll see. Right now, between the upcoming holidays and also several weeks of daily treatments scheduled for my better half, my priorities don’t include working on the car much for awhile yet. The carpet kit took a couple weeks to arrive from the UK and the boxes looked a little worse for the wear but fortunately, everything inside looked fine. It will definitely lift the interior up because the original carpet although not torn up, was so faded. Looks a little daunting with so many individual pieces but I’m sure once I get going, it won’t be too bad.
