I started the process by stripping out all the old carpet, and jute insulation and a thorough inspection for rust. The only rust found was on the bent tabs that held the fuel lines in place. So I was extremely lucky there. All factory tar was in good shape with no cracks or separation; I did not think it necessary to remove.

Next the installation of the EZ Cool. I might have gone a little overboard but it was sort of a fun and the adhesive fumes may have had something to do with that.

Next the Carpet went in. Found this carpet set on eBay. The seller had purchased it from Italy several years ago but it never made it to his car. It’s in mine now.

Then came the Soft Touch console from our friend Csaba. I really like this console and it should stand up to anything I would throw at it. I did try to paint it using the SEM paint to change the color but it did not hold the paint because the material stretch factor. But after getting it all back together I don’t think it looks half bad. Actually I think I like it.
