    a little update.. i found some carpet from a junkyard its not in great shape but something is better than nothing, i welded a gas petal on... the floor is to rusty to use the bolts. i got tired of looking at the textured black roof so i striped and repainted it with some blue heavy flake i also installed a non cracked windshields and took out the light blue headliner.. i plan on dropping it soon.
