New engine mounts and rear rubber!wow Perfect, you are really going the whole hog on this bad boy! Sounds outstanding.

I need some new carpets- I will have to Google Garry Blackman & see what he does.I don't know if this helps at all, but in my Internet trawlings I have come across companies in the UK that sell complete carpet sets for our cars .... they are pre-moulded pieces that just replace your existing ones ....Are they cheaper or more expensive?? I have no idea but would be worth looking into ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a try though, especially with the current good AUD-GBP rate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a try though, especially with the current good AUD-GBP rate...I would think that with the price of getting custom jobs done here in Oz, it would definitely be worth looking into .... it's a small world these days and shipping can be done on the cheap if done correctly ....I'll see if I can find the information again so some comparisons can be done .... You complete me Dreamer.......please fwd any links for said molded carpets please.Ever since we met Jason I knew we had something special .....

Perfect S2 Posted 27March, 2017 Report Share Posted 27March, 2017 Garry Blackman has been in the game for years. I bought my first 911 SC from Jeff Dutton when he was in Church st. Jeff sent me to Gary for set trims. He is in Richmond. Did a great job on my mats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 27March, 2017 Report Share Posted 27March, 2017 These ones are from the UK and are for RHD cars ......http://www.carcarpets.co.uk/porsche-944-1982-to-1993-carpet-set---blenheim-range-43284-p.asp These ones are from the US .... look really good but don't know if they do RHD ....http://www.stockinteriors.com/items.asp?MakeId=24&ModelId=398&MainCatId=1&Desc=Porsche_944_Carpet @Perfect S2 ..... I am certainly not questioning the quality of Garry Blackman but I have always believed in knowing all that is available then being able to make an informed decision .....

Typhoon Posted 27March, 2017 Report Share Posted 27March, 2017 I am going through the carpet thing at the moment for my 944T. I have contacted a company in the US and got this response."Hello Jeff, Carpet Set, Nylon - $600 (nylon is the only carpet material that can be molded)Front Seat Cover Kit – Leather: $1,200 / Vinyl: $800 (includes both front seats)Rear Seat Cover Kit – Leather: $1,200 / Vinyl: $800 Shipping to Australia is around $300-$350. Over half of that shipping cost is for the carpet set. Properly packed, the full carpet set is 30 lbs, and in a 36” x 21” x 16” box. The front and rear seat covers would be placed in a separate box. Mars"This is their website if any interest.www.worlduph.com. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted 27March, 2017 Report Share Posted 27March, 2017 JeffHad a quick look at the website - couldn't see any mention of a RHD choice, but I didn't dig deeply... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 27March, 2017 Report Share Posted 27March, 2017 JeffHad a quick look at the website - couldn't see any mention of a RHD choice, but I didn't dig deeply...I've read somewhere that due to the steering not needing to be relocated, the basic setup and floor pans on a LHD and a RHD 924 / 944 are the same. Unlike the setup on a 911 where the floor pans are different sizes and shapes ....I have no idea if this is correct but would be worth looking into .....

Rob Posted 28March, 2017 Report Share Posted 28March, 2017 Hey Dreamr, good thought, but no cigar... Just went down to the shed and looked at mine to remind myself - there are cutouts for the accelerator pedal and the footrest that will exist on the "wrong" side as well as the vinyl wear mat for the driver's feet will be on the wrong side as well.

Typhoon Posted 28March, 2017 Report Share Posted 28March, 2017 Hi Rob,It would be worthwhile sending an email to them to confirm if someone is after carpets. I was only after the trunk/hatch carpet but I thought I would get other prices for interest sake. My trunk carpet should be here today or tomorrow. I hope it is correct.Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
