I start like 3 weeks ago. my buget is very limited. so i decide to go solo on this one. I buy the carpet here localy. no pre cut or molded.

My old carpet was not the original one. look like somebody did that job. and not to good of a job.

so I decided to doit my self.

here I already remove the old carpet

Carpet job looks good. The low budget dynamat looks OK by me too. Nothing wrong with it. Nice job.

Hitmanpty, looking pretty good! Congrats to your ingenuity and resourcefulness. I was in and out of Howard AB numerous times in the late '70s through the mid '80s...loved it and loved your country! Side trips to Rodman (cameras and electronics), Amador, Clayton, Quarry Heights...even flew in a Huey over the Canal to Colon but had to take the train back. Fishing for peacock bass in Gatun Lake...and who could ever forget the Ancon Inn???

One of these days I have to go back...but without the Missus.
