Starting to put a few things back together: The painter reports that the tub has been primed too, which I'm hoping to have some photos of shortly.

Oh I see! I went higher than I needed to to be sure that there wouldn't be an unsightly gap. I figured extra insulation isn't a bad thing either, whether that's in a hot or cold climate.

Which parts? Potential electrical conduits, bolt holes, screw clips etc will be exposed - there's still some work to do.

I now know why LR never covered the bulkhead in anything. It is a complete and utter bastard! There are still a few edges to tidy up with a sharp Stanley, but glad to have gotten this over and done with! There were places where the carpet bunched up, and in others where I had to ask a lot...

And the tunnel

Managed to cover a couple more panels today. Have also set the enormous roll of carpet in front of the bulkhead and thinking how I'm going to stretch the it into the footwells and get a smooth finish on the rest of the panel.

Thank you! Glad to have provided some light entertainment

Corner protectors will be fitted to mask the joins in the carpet.

Getting hold of 4-way stretch carpet in Canada is a real pain! I'm therefore ordering some from Arizona, which will allow me to cover: - Bulkhead - Floor plates - Tunnel - Seat Box - Second row kick panel This carpet will add a bit of 'comfort' to the 110 and marginally attenuate some of the...

The seat box, tunnel and second row kick panel are now insulated. I now need to choose on a colour for the carpets. I'm aware of water ingress issues etc. I'm thinking either black or a darker grey. The door cards, dash and seats will be black. Should the carpet be black as well? Or would that...

The harness is in, along with the engine harness, albeit both aren't connected to everything just yet. I've been given a great deal of thought to how I'd like to finish the interior, and have decided to insulate with noico red (closed cell foam) wherever possible. The seatbox will be covered in...

Over the past few weeks I've been sorting out the main harness that attaches to the bulkhead, and today fitted some noico material to help prevent panel resonance. Closed cell foam will go on top of this to add some insulation and attenuate road/engine noise.

So sorry for the delay in updating this thread. The original painter got sacked as he was crap at communicating, equally bad at getting on and doing work, and quite frankly hopeless at painting. The bodywork is now in the hands of a reputable painter a couple of hours away, who has already...
