WATER IN FOOTWELLS

[Anonymous]

Right, so after finishing my rear SR smooth+filled+sprayed body colour'd bumper, i take it outside, gape in awe at my handywork, and then procede to wash shit off... i get back in car after done washing to find a tonne of water in footwell... it sticks too.. it was slightly damp before, but i put that down to wet feet, but this was full... so i pull carpet back to see the sponge fibre wool stuff filled with water, and growing, yes GROWING... if it was left any longer it would of grown legs and ran off... anyway, after nearly dieing of the fungal smell, i rip it all out, and chuck it... so now, ive taken front+rear seats out, all carpet.. then fixed a small rust whole that could of been an MOT failure with fibreglass.. so i was stuck with soggy shit coloured carpet, so went out and got a 2x2 metre nice bit of blue carpet from cut cost carpet place... and some nice blue mats, with metal bit... so now im in process of spray glueing the carpet in the car, got front done, and now just finishing back... i tell ya, tis hard work cutting and shapeing this stuff. Anyways, will be finished tomoz, and will look amazing in blue... I just thought i'd share this with you lot, as other ppl could be suffering from same thing... do what i did and get interior done.. looks lot better in nice carpet. Laters ppl, will report back when all done, with some pics too, cheers...

[Anonymous]

mint... Also finished rear SR smoothed+filled bumper conversion, and body coloured, and just finishing off my front SR bumper (old styleeee) mesh grill conversion, only prob there is friken filler on the mesh, so how da hell am i gonna get that off, without using a tooth pick on each hole?

Rich you keep changing your car every week.. stop painting it and get it lowered, you saw my ace photoshop work and even on 13's it'll look loads cooler ;)

i dont want to piss on your bonfire mate.
but early mk1 nova antibes came with blue carpets as standerd, grnted this wont be the same shade as what you have (prob) but it would have saved shitloads ov work.

Yeah, antibes came with the coloured carpets, but finding one has been a nightmare for me. I am after a red one, but i think i will have more luck trying to get some rocking horse sh*t!

Antibes are very hard to find on a scrappy....I've only ever seen one (in Red), and someone had taken the carpet.
Not that I was bothered, since mines an Antibes anyway....hum, nice Red carpet!
