Back in mid November I brought up the subject of carpeting for my TR4
and that using a lead from Bill Kelly I had contacted Mark Walker of
Southeastern Fabrics in Knoxville Tennessee. At that time I placed an
order for carpeting that was to be in the original shade of charcoal grey. I
was told deliver would be approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Well I'm happy to
announce that today the carpeting finally arrived! So it actually turned out
to be 2 to 3 months. Small discrepancy after dealing with some of our other
suppliers!! In all fairness however, Southeastern Fabrics basically shut
down operations for a few months shortly after taking my order. During
their shutdown I guess they completely reorganized and expanded their
operation. Mark Walker was very apologetic about the situation and
fortunately it didn't affect my schedule any at this point. I am glad I
ordered when I did though!
Unfortunately I can't give you a description of it just yet since I won't see
it
until friday night. I was just notified that it had finally arrived at my
house.
This weekend I'll try and do a closer examination of the carpet and see if I
how well the fits seem to be.
Stay tuned..................
