This was a lot less work. I can get just the wheel for $12 at the JY. Whenever I see a nice one Im going to grab it, they will bring a bunch more than that on Ebay in a few years.

Sort of. My original was wore out. Color gone, missing some of the leather wrap, and plain butt ugly. I found a nice gray wheel at the P-N-P with airbag for $25 plus another $10 for paint. The paint is SEMA Saddle and doesnt match, but its close enough. It was hell masking off the leather...

Im going to put a 2001 shifter bezel in. I painted it this morning, not a perfect match, but the car is far from perfect anyway.

Im missing the spring on my shifter bezel lighter door, so the door doesnt stay closed. I dont know if just the spring is gone or if something is broken off as well. Can anyone post a pic of what it should look like and if nothing is broken, can just the spring be replaced? If not, Im gluing...

Carpet is 90% installed. Got the console and seats back in, just need to finish up on the kick panels and door sills. Its molded pretty good, theres a couple places where Im going to put a bit of padding in to smooth out a wrinkle but overall its decent for aftermarket carpet.

I did tubular on all four with new rubber axle bushings and poly spring rubbers and a new edge rear end. Rides nice.

Lots of low mileage cars in the JY that were wrecked, see them all the time. Saw an 03 V6 vert with a smashed front end and mint gray leather interior a couple weeks ago. While I was pulling the radio bezel a couple guys showed up and asked what I was taking. I told them just the bezel. A...

My usual MOD is to pull a JY carpet, hit it with shout and pressure wash it. If the color is off, stuff it in a trash can and use the WM dye with water from the hot water heater. Good as new.

Scotty, those look really nice. I have been keeping an eye out for S197 seats, so far its a no-go. Ive spent the day finishing up a couple projects that have been 1/2 done for a month. Hope to get the new carpet in tomorrow.

Im going to order seat covers today. I have saddle leather. I do not like leather in a convertible. Its way to hot down here, its after mid September and we are still hitting 95-100 degree days. Im going to go with cloth. A few questions: Who makes the best quality, best vendor, are new...

Im leaning toward just keeping it.

Finally have time to tackle the new carpet install. I made the 2 hour trip to Mustangs Unlimited to buy the carpet. They insisted that this is the correct carpet for my 97 Cobra. I insisted that their carpet is for 99+ Mustangs. What say you?

Thats why I think a good compromise is to reproduce the top portion only. Either a snap on/glue on panel or a complete replacement panel. Even a formed upholstery panel would be better than nothing. As I stated, I rarely see a bottom that is damaged or worn.

Old thread but worth keeping it going. It seems all we would need is a plastic panel to "snap" over the top portion of the door panel. Or even separate the top from the bottom and just replace the top. Ive been looking in the JYs for 6 months now, nearly every door panel I find has a great...

At the time I didnt know about G-springs. 1.2 drop, 500/570 and 170/310 for verts. Those may have been better, but Im still happy with the cut coils. Thats how we did it back before 1-click shopping bought you any and everything.
