Ten years ago when I first started my Spitfire restoration, I
purchased as I found them parts that I knew I was going to need.
Finally after 8 years working overseas I ready to start putting the
interior in my MK1. The carpet is my big problem at the moment
(among many others!). I bought this "Deluxe" carpet set about 9
years ago from a place called Scotland Yard in Denver Colorado. This
carpet was supposed to be a perfect fit. Well it ain't.
Doing a trial fit to see how things went there were gaps all over the
place with no way to cover them. Unfortunately I spend close to $200
on the carpet and it looks like I won't be able to use it.
Has anyone installed carpet into a MK1 Spitfire recently and if so
where did you get your carpet, which model, how did it fit?. Did
you have any problems?
It makes me sick to think I have to buy carpeting all over again.
But I'm not going to spend the kind of money I've been spending and
do a shoddy carpet job.
If anyone has any ideas about this I would sure love to hear them.
On the bright side, mechanical the car is Real close to being street
ready!
