How do I start tearing out the upholstry and carpet in my '92 F-bird?

Question

(AND ARE THERE BOOKS TO TELL ME HOW TO) go about putting in new carpet, if the floor isn't rusted out? I have leaks where my T-Tops meet the tops of my windows on both sides. Don't know if it's from the door hinges bending/warping over time, although the door doesn't line up exactly with the body like it should. The original upholstry is all messed up, stained by mold only, I have used everything humanly possible to get the stench and the stains out, but common sense tells me the stench goes into the foam under the fabric. Also, tearing out the carpet will keep the floor from rusting more and from starting to rust if she hasn't yet right? Or does it make a difference?

Thanks

Answer 1

take out the seats,take off the rocker panels,remove the council,and you will be able to remove the carpet....buy carpet that is precut  to your car ....installing car carpet is an art...but you can do it,  then replace the rest of the parts the same way u took them out..my guys gut an interior in about a 2 hour period....we build custom cars at our shop
