Main activities:  Carpeting the boot

If you like jigsaws, this is the job for you.  If, like me, you don’t, it’s a bit of a pain.  There is a patchwork of carpet bits provided to line out the boot (and its worth doing to reduce the risk of something rattling around in the boot damaging the thin skin of the car).  I spent quite a while working out what went where.

I decided that spraying carpet and boot with adhesive was a recipe for glue everywhere so I just sprayed the back of the carpet.  This approach seemed to work and the carpet adhered to the awkward shapes of the boot pretty well, once the glue was allowed to go tacky.

But if you end up getting any adhesive where you don’t want it, good old WD40 will come to your rescue.

Some of the triangular items that go on the bulkhead were nearly the right size but almost everything needed some trimming to fit (in some cases, quite a lot of trimming, which is easy enough to do with a new blade in the stanley knife). 

The strange pieces with a crease and a hem, wrap around the wavy front sides of the boot just behind the roll bar.
