New Carpeting in the Burb

I finished up (almost) installing new carpeting in the Burb. Much nicer than the old original cracked rubber matting. I have to find some strips yet. I also picked up a never used gas tank for $35 off craig's list for when I need it.

Re: New Carpeting in the Burb

Looks great!
I should have went with that color... (long story)
I like what I saw what you have for your seat cover, can you post pictures of your bench seat for us? What year cover is that? did you buy it pre-made, or did you have it done?

I am interested in seeing how the back of the seat back was done, and the seating surfaces.

I need to do my seat covers bad, but I have yet to find a 68 burb seat cover set yet for all three benches. I've been debating on having all three made, since I can get the material now that I like and is correct for 68. But am unsure of the how they would turn out.

I just recovered all of my inner side panels, and they came out pretty good for someone like me that has never done that kind of work before.

I'll try to take some photos of the seat tomorrow. It was in the Burb when I bought it.

Re: New Carpeting in the Burb

I got it from StockInteriors.com. It was pretty reasonable at $350 with shipping for the complete kit which included the front, back, cargo area, wheel wells and filler cover. It is the standard ACC 80/20 Loop which everybody seems to sell. It looks better that it really is, but it fit well. I don't know how it would hold up to heavy daily use, but it doesn't get that kind of use, so I guess it will be okay. Certainly better than the old cracked matting and bare wood.
