The Carpeting

The next step in the process was to cover the engine box, walls and the overhead shelves.  The pic below are self explanatory.  I found the carpet which almost exactly matches the laminex and has all of the coloursin the olour scheme.  I have noticed that the carpet on the engine box cover has really reduced the noise.  The carpet is indoor outdoors type from carpet warehous in Kingston which was the cheapest around at 28.50 per metres for a 2 metre width.  I did everything I needed with just 2 metres with very little left over.

The pic above shows the overhead shelves covered in the carpet.  I was going to cover these with the same fabric as the seats,  but it was just too hard.  This has come up very well and has been much easier.  The only problem was spreading the contact adhesive on the carpet.  It just soaks it up like crazy.

The above pic shows the lighter carpet on the walls of the steps and a darker version of the carpet on the steps.  The darker colour will handle the dirt better.  I only stuck the carpet on the steps around the edges so it can be removed and changed if it gets too bad.  The carpet is supposed to be outdoor so it should be OK.

I don't have a specific pic of the engine box but the next post will show it.
