I'm putting in new tar paper insulation and carpet. The old carpet was a replacement and it wasn't trimmed properly when installed. Plus it smelled oily from the rust proofing goo. The head liner needs to be replaced as it is the wrong material and was most likely done when they installed the new GM quarters back in the 1980s.

It will not show once installed,the Eastwood stuff works so well, really cuts the noise and driveline heat. I used a tiny pizza roller to really flatten it before carpeting. I also used the good silver tape to cover areas where seams were. If your gonna keep it/drive it, its something to consider..Its far from original obviously, but not noticeable. Also makes the radio sound much better ( rear speakers) Its just an FYI..Love your car ! Its nice to see someone else spreading out the mess like I used too!!

Did you just buy the standard kit from them that says it will cover about 33 sq ft? I was thinking of putting this on the roof and in the doors as well. Also, do you just put the carpet directly over this, or still use an under lay?
Thanks

Good - any plans to bring it to the PY open house? I'd love to see it.

I will probably bring it, that is if I can get it all titled and registered by then. I got in touch with the NJ DMV today via the telephone (a feat in and of itself), and yes, the title application for any foreign purchased vehicle has to be processed through the mail at their headquarters in Trenton. I sent the whole package of original forms, docs and a check, off today via certified mail. Hopefully it will make the 20 mile trip through the US Mail in the next few days. Once I get it titled I can then get the plates pretty easily.
