So...give me a clue...how tough a job is it and is there anything you run into like glued carpet?
I am not sure about door panels from 90' L98 to 91' ZR1. It has been suggested that everything else including the seats are interchangeable.

Yeah...Couldn't leave well enough alone, I guess.
Actually, I believe the car spend a good bit of time in the sun. The carpet is sun burnt and is beginning to show (what I call) dry rotting to where the knap (sp?) has rubbed off along the edge wherever there was a turn. Most of the damage is in the cargo area.
The paint is bright red, and the red interior is flame red. (i.e., bluish red). I'm not an interior decorator, but I can see when two colors of RED don't complement each other, and bright red/flame red...ain't doing it for me! So, Torch Red carpet is going in, and I'm adding some black highlights such as floor mats and a black cargo mat - really looks good; the red/black interior.
But, yeah...There is some super-duper adhesive - looks like it was put on with a caulking gun - holding the vertical pieces and the pieces on the hush panels. It's like skinning a deer: pull on a corner while slashing the glue between the old carpet and the various panels. It will take some time to get the old carpet off and panels cleaned up before installing the new carpet. But, it is progressing.
I'm taking pix as I go. (Just for YOU, Cliff!
