Carpet replacement in an 85

[svo413]

Does anyone have some insight on carpet replacement? I would assume the carpet was cut in half due to the welded console support. Unfortunately, my rear bin cover was redone years ago by gluing new materials over top the old stuff. This makes removing the console cover risky. My carpet was replace many years ago and is now faded. The door panel carpet inserts seem to be the correct color. I will get some samples to match it up.

Has anyone used the replacement door panel boards for the 81-86? I know they were out of stock for quite some time. I did one on my 89 and it was not too bad. My upholstery guy said he could do it so I gave it a try. I should try to find some shorter staples.

I actually was going to try to replace the carpet and got some of the medium gray carpet for the door panels but then I found good original door panels. So I'm afraid I'm not much help.
