- I decided that it was time to improve the interior of Ed and a new carpet was top of my list.
Not a difficult job and for not a lot of money it transforms the interior
Looks great Dale! Love it! Can’t wait until I get to that point!
Thanks Andy, i am really enjoying all the little finishing touches. I'm trying to get as much done as possible while the weather permits, then its back to Eleanor
DB... love seeing the Texas sign on your garage wall all the over there in Scotland!!!! What a pleasure and honor to have met you... as for the carpet, well done and it looks great good tip on using the old carpet as a template to cut the new. I was wondering why I was keeping my old carpet.... now I know
That is 100 times better black in sted of red. And that are the same mate as my dad's but it is looking good
Thanks louise. Yeah i went for black because i like black and green together, it smells new aswell, so i am pleased with it
DB, It‘s amazing how just changing the carpets can give a car a whole new look & Feel, Cheers Dave
I was surprised how much it actually changed the whole look, its like a ripple effect though, I'm looking at what to replace next
@@DBMiniDIY The red piping on the seat covers??
@@piperdoug428 standard cooper seats to the best of my knowledge
Good job DB and what a difference. I'd have just undone the 2 7/16 bolts on the seats and left the brackets in place :)
Cheers, there was method in my madness there. Half the bolts to undo or skinning my knuckles on the brackets and it mage it easier when lying on the cross member to reach under the dash area
A million times better, Dale!
Cheers mate, its amazing how you can transform the interior for such a small cost
Floor looked good mate
Looking great db changes an interior so much
Wish you could smell the difference too
So the carpet is mainly flat stuff cut to fit with the heel pads attached? there's no heat molded curves or such? just wondered if a guy was fiscally challenged he could make a carpet up out of some low pile generic carpet. congrats on the 2000+ subs
2000 subs, i know, who'd of thought, cheers. It had moulded slits cut at the front of the tunnel to get a better fit but a man of you talents could make a carpet no problem
Looks great DB.. can I ask did you used adhesive between the black carpet & underlayer? Thanks!
Thanks, it was such a transformation. Yes i used the contact adhesive to stick the carpet to the underlayer
Hi. What kind of glue did you use?
Just standard contact adhesive.
@@DBMiniDIY thx. I'm asking because I need to do exactly the same with my MINI. Just order new floor and isolation but I'm wondering what kind of glue should I use for that. Your movie was very helpful understanding how to replace the floor. Thanks for that. I will also need to replace the roof lining. Do you know how to do it?
@@LordKamilB with lots of patience and preferable a spare pair of hands, i have mine to do as well and not looking forward to it
I know it's been ages but where did you get the underlay from?? Cheer great videos BTW
Cheers
I got it from mini spares
That's looking really nice, silly question but why do you not carpet the whole cross member.
They weren't carpeted as standard, the earlier models anyway and the kit i bought only came with what you see. I do prefer the look of the bare cross member to one with a carpet
@@DBMiniDIY I agree, it looks good, i got a longway before im at that stage.
@@davemoore2016 but worth it when you get there, its a great feeling, Eleanor is a long way off to but i will be starting work on her again very soon
