Anyone have any tips on removing a carpet in one piece... im stripping my car and the carpet is in really good shape, id like to get a few bucks for it... im just wondering if its possible to pull out without tearing it. ?

-ZERO-

you should have no problem. just have to pull all your seats out and center consol and trim peices at the bottom of the doors. and it won't rip. you'll see what im talking about when you start to take it out.

-ZERO-

oh, i almost forgot. the carpet for the trunk area is a separate piece!

THEGENERAL

yeah it should pull out in one peice without a problem .......and youll probably find your build sheet under the carpet too thats where alot of them are hidden on thirdgens not all but alot .........and not to mention youll probably find a hand full of change... LOL

-ZERO-

your right about the change thing! when i pulled my carpet out of my 87 IROC i found like over 30 bucks worth of change!

THEGENERAL

WOW thats gotta be a record...LMAO.....sounds like a pizza run.....lol

-ZERO-

nope. i put gas in my car.

good luck josh1988! and you get to buy pizza for us with all the change you find!!

A buddy of mine found a old pair of panties and a pack of trojans under his carpet. Another buddy found a couple of joints and a small bag of weed under his.

2.73's Suck

LOL, one of my friends just got a 69 'vert, the ashtray was full of roaches and when we ripped the carpet out there was a whole unsmoked joint. What a waste, it looked like it was from the 70s.

lol if that had been a second gen it would of been a big bag of weed........gotta love the 70's

THEGENERAL

now this is kind of a long story but here goes

i was about 17 at the time i know i know that was along time ago...LOL ...anyway it was about 14 years ago i was driving an 81 buick regal at the time and had 3 cases of budlight baby 8's in the back seat ( i do not suggest drinking by minors)....anyway i was going to a party and a deer ran in front of my car and i hit the brakes really hard and the 3 cases of beer flew out of the seat into the floor board and i had a small river of beer running under each seat into the front floor boards .....so i get to the party we salvage what beer we could and decide to run up to the carwash and clean the car out so we take a pair of pliers and a screwdriver with us when we get there we put 25cents (man the price of things has gone up now its up to 75cents anyway) in the vaccume and suck all the beer up out of the floor boards...lol...we go back to the party and decide to take the seats out of the car and remove the carpet and get my friends moms steam cleaner out and clean it really good ....so we take the carpet out and find 3 craftsman wrenches 9/16 , 5/8 , 7/16, under the carpet a 10 dollar bill, and a bunch of pennies ....LOL...too much stuff for a car that supposedly had never had anything happen to it or any thing done to it but you never know what your going to find under the carpet in a car the weird part was the money was under the carpet in the passenger side floorboard and the wrenches were all layed out under the carpet under the drivers seat......i dont get it ...LOL


i also found a wrench under the carpet in my 89 ranger that was the exact size of the seat bolts ..>LOL.....and i had purchased it off of my uncle at the time who was the original owner and never had the seats or carpet up i wonder if the factory doesnt loose wrenches when assembling cars when the employees are putting things together that is .....

flrtin1

No that was a ford...... ya know they gotta send tools out with them :lala:

THEGENERAL

LMAO IM TELLIN YA .....LOL

it was a good little truck but like said before it was a ford..LOL....only reason i bought it was it belonged to my uncle for the first 13 years of its life and it was taken care of and i needed a good parts runner and for 500 bucks i couldnt pass it up ...heck when i got done with it the ol thing had 235000 miles on it and i sold it for 300 bucks..LOL...

THEGENERAL

In unrelated news, circa '90...

I pulled the carpet out of an '81 Z28 and found about $6 bucks in change, a dime bag of reefer (NICE), various lipsticks, laminated ID cards to the YMCA (??), beer bottle caps, and a whole $hitload of cigarettes.

I guess that's the run of the mill carpet pull.

lol, now im kinda looking forward to doing this... previous to my ownership of this car it was owned by a multiple felon who is now in jail (for drug related crimes i beleive) so this could be interesting. :lala:
