I have never done a full job like this before i figured what the hell, what could possibly go wrong.The origonal Boot of the 180B had a rubber mat in before i started (never took picture though).

I started by removing all thee crap and the origonal panel and mat. Clean down and hoovered the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next i started shaping carpet around the inner arches and using spray glue on both sides allowing it to a little tacky then sticking the section into place and around the metal work. I also put carpet on the inner of the 1\/4 sections using the same process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then moving on to the panel to cover which i recreated using 8mm mdf using the origonal one as template. this covers the fuel tank and also hold the battery box i created and covered in the same carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next was the actual floor carpet cutting it round the arches and keeping it flowing into the jack to tool storage areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I then fitted the battery and connected it all back up. Gave it a good hoover. All in all i think it turned out quite well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
