      however, IMO no-overriders is the best look.
      Did it and no.

      Me too. I am buying more. Always more.

      Yea that rubber piece should come off, you may have to glue it back on afterwords, but then just replace the bolt.
      Held on by screws. Easy fix.

      Same.













      Fixed the bumperette issue. Hardly an issue at all. I sat down, ate a burrito, and it came to me. Fixed it in 4 minutes.






      And I managed to lay down the raam-mat and elsolite layer. Then started laying and gluing carpet.







      These are the inner rocker pieces and I haven't quite figured out how they configure in the car. I feel like these pieces are missing some vinyl flaps that cover the seat frames. I'll ask the carpet maker (Esty). Forgive me; blurry photo.




      And this looks wrong too. I need a vinyl flap that tucks into a trim piece. I don't have that. Another question for Esty.





      But overall a good day. Should be done tomorrow if I am an idiot and the carpet set is in fact correct.

        Remember this photo?




        Well now the interior looks something like this:














        I like it. Surf car is now clean car. Still need to decide what I'm doing about the paint and the trim and other things.

                      The carpet looks awesome. This car keeps getting closer and closer to my dream e10.

                        Finished it. Drove the heck out of it today and someone left a note requesting to purchase my car. Guess who's not going to sell it?

                        This guy.

                        Driver's seat in



                        Both seats and Cocos back in. Also got the fire extinguisher on the passenger side installed






                        Now I need to figure out if I can adjust the window to get it to properly seal against the door gasket. I have a quarter inch gap in the upper right corner of the driver's side door glass.

                            Still shiny! It's been over a week and the shine is still here. So whatever I did this time around, seems to be working (Used all this high-quality 3M industrial mega protein-enhanced NASA formulated, secrets-your-doctor-doesn't-want-you-to-know compounds).
