Joe's 1982 Scrambler Restoration Thread (Retitled From: Bringing The Scrambler Home)

The window frames are black and the doors have fixed mirrors attached... I think you are right, the donor jeep is a limited. I thought AC, tach, and clock were all standard on the limited but it appears not. Thanks for looking this up!

That's an amazing transformation. Great work!

 

[bobbysjeep]

Yes it is. Nice job...

 

[spankrjs]

Looks fantastic

Those "western weave" seats look really comfortable, especially when it is hot outside

Hi Gang,

Well... my carpet finally came in so I'm starting the install. Yesterday I disassembled the interior and thus far I have the carpet partially installed. I wanted to upload some preliminary shots and I'll upload the remainder when I finish today. Here are a few shots:

Thus far, the only thing that I can see that I will need to do is buy some trim material from the carpet manufacturer so that I can have it sewed on to the rear edge of the carpet that abuts the bulkhead.

The best part about the carpet is that I won't have 200+ degree heat radiating off the floor when I drive in the summer. The heat is so bad that I have to move my feet away from the transmission tunnel because they feel like they are cooking. I'm jazzed about this upgrade

Great looking carpet, is this an aftermarket kit or a NOS? If after market, where did you purchase?

 

[MrBeep]

Looks great. I take it it won't sit out in the rain.
Just walked past my grandsons Jeep and it has about 2.5 inches of water standing in the floors above the carpet from this mornings storms. Good news is it holds water, bad news is he'll have to dry it out.

 

[bigwalton]

Wow, that looks so good.

 

[Joe West]

It is aftermarket carpet. I will post a link to the place I purchased it. Standby.
