Hi all, I'm looking to install carpet into my project BMW and want to know of any tips and tricks. I've changed the floor pan enough that a standard kit won't fit. It's a 1971 Bavaria(E3). I'm planning to just find some indoor/outdoor carpet, cut it into appropriate shapes and glue it down. I'm looking at using 6 rough pieces; tunnel, floors x 2, sils x2 and a piece along the rear seat platform. Any previous experiences, glues to use? I used the 3M spray glue to install some insulation/heat barrier, but I'm not sure it's thick or strong enough to hold carpet in place.

Thanks in advance

Look up air cooled beetle carpet replacement. Sounds quite similar to what you are talking about. The kits come patch work and get glued down individually.
