So advise w.r.t interior carpets

[GhostRSA]

Hey everyone,

 

I had some time this afternoon to start looking, planning and removing panels from my little MK2 Escort.

 

One thing I did notice was the interior carpet was horrible, torn and just plain disgusting in certain places, so it will have to be removed. My limited research showed that in South Africa it will be a specialized service to replace the carpet as I could not find kits for the car locally. Importing is an option but postage is almost the same amount as the actual kit and with our exchange rate that will be VERY expensive.

 

So I need some advice/ suggestions from you on alternatives or other options. Keep in mind I would like to keep it from looking to much like a track car and be able to use it comfortably on the street.
