Adrian thanks for all the work on this... You can give up my spot for a rug...won't need it anymore. Thanks!
Adrian, I can squeeze all of the pieces into 140cm X 265cm same as the Euro set but as you can see it does not leave much margin for error. If you wanted more room around each piece you would need to move one of the floor pieces to one end which would the require 140cm X 380cm. Hope this helps. Sorry could not get one pic of the whole set. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hi Adrian, Many thanks for this awesome work! My car is an EU one. I'll take 2 black/blue sets if that is possible without depriving anyone else. Shipping will be to France, whenever they are ready (no rush) Yves
Same goes for me...and awesome project! I did send you an email to comfirm but do it here again in case. Euro and blue for me please. Is there a way for buyers to get the cutting patterns digitally, for example as Illustrator files?
Al, A poster asked what I thought your charges would be for doing a set. My thought is, whatever you charge will be cheaper than doing it wrong or wasting the rare material. Maybe you could come up with a ballpark idea. I think it would be smarter for anyone to get them from you especially in the US whether a euro or US car but once again that is my preference. Rob
FYI, I emailed Adrian with the preference to add my order to the bulk shipment to Al, so he can handle the finishing. It would definitely be nice to know some rough ballpark cost in advance, though.
Hi All I will ship all carpet sets to fellow Gt4 owners in AMERICA via UPS ground and depending on your zip code that will be the cost plus the cost of the new boxes that will hold them correctly. The cost of cutting and binding them I will be get a quote this week. I'm sure the price we be very reasonable. As for you RG it will travel free in your car when shipped If anyone here would like to send me there USA carpet that is excellent condition as would like to compare it with the one I have two see if there is any variation due to heat, water and age Regards Al
Hi ALL, Here is a rough outline on the cost: Shipping cost of the bulk carpet for Germany to USA (+customs duty ) TBD Shipping to each owner TBD Lay out, pattern cutting, sewing of black edging for 11 sections $250.00 I have seen two types of rear panel Aluminum and the most common masonite board Remember that alot of the car's were converted front and rear because of the DOT with GM shocks and the BIG bumpers that changed things in the trunk see 14 on Luggage Compartment lid: Page 108 so please check your trunk and let me know so we cut that section to what you have in your car Al
Hi, Al. Can you explain that? Sorry, but it isn't clear to me. Thank you. Also, I may be able to send my carpet to you to use as a pattern. Would that be helpful? If so I'll check with the shop that has it to see if they can carefully remove it. Thanks again. Jack
Wow, just read this thread from the start, quite an undertaking, hats off to all involved. Is all the current carpet production spoken for? If not I'd like to place an order for enough of the material to make a set for a Euro Car please, (Beige/Black) How do I go about this? Cheers Jon
Ill have to check but I think my car has a aluminum panel all across the inside back, under the carpet
Al, I have a US carpet set that I would say is in 'very good' rather than excellent condition. The pieces are not torn the vinyl edge trim is all intact. I have already drawn templates on heavy brown paper for all pieces. I intend to put this set back in my car so I am not looking for a replacement but it will be some time before my car is back on the road and thus it is available for you to use. If you are interested drop me a PM with your address and I will send you the set and templates via UPS. Cheers, John
