Carpet, Headliner Kit Finally Here

Well, finally the carpet and headliner kit arrived today. It had been sitting in New York because they couldn't get a hold of me by phone. The phone number was wrong. Once we got that straightened out it was here in two days. What a pain.
Now, to get it down to Greg's so we can get it put in. Also waiting on a couple of chrome pieces. They were shipped from the west coast so should be here by Monday. The GT is starting to really come together. Here are some pics, will post more as the interior goes in.

Interior Lost In Space

Well it appears my interior from PJM-Motors is lost somewhere in the universe. It was shipped on the 2nd of February but I still haven't received it. Emails only confirm it made it to the States and I should have received it. Well duh! It's probably hung up in customs. Happened once before but not for this long. Thought I would have received a call by now. Nothing to do but wait...

GT Rear Parcel Shelf

Don't know how many of you have ever seen one of these. It is a rear parcel shelf for a GT. Accessary sold in the seventies I believe. Not sure who made them. I bought this from a gentleman in the UK. I'm going to see if I can mount it in the '67. If anyone has some info on them let me know.

I have one....sourced through the MGOC back about 2000 or so.

Rick, the one I have is fiberglass with a velvet like covering. I thought earlier ones were plastic with no covering but my memory ain't so great. Mine may be from the same era as yours. Any idea who made them, and have you ever seen an earlier style?

Carpet And Headliner

Well the new carpet and headliner kit is on the way from PJM Motors in the UK. Can't wait to get started putting it in. I'll be sure to post some pics when it arrives.
Big push now to try and finish the GT in time for MG2012 in Dillard, Ga. Wanted to take the GT instead of the roadster as I want to get some things taken care of on the roadster this summer. I only have the money to work on one at a time, so the roadster is waiting now while I finish up the GT.
Major debate going on in my head now as to whether I am going to put the '65 up for sale. Being on fixed income makes it difficult to maintain 2 MG's at a high level.

Interior For The GT

Ordered the new carpet and headliner kit from PJM Motors today. Also ordered the C Post liners. PJM Motors is in England, and they are the same people I got my interior from for the '65. I was extremely pleased with that interior I got for the '65 so I expect the same quality and good appearance for the interior for the GT.
The interior carpet will be red and the headliner and C Post liner will be gray. The carpet usually takes a few weeks so hopefully by the second week of February it should be on the way. Should have it by the end of February and will start right away with the installation.

Restoration Poor

Since I am no longer able to work, my time is taken up with procuring parts needed to finish up the restoration on the '67 GT.
It is amazing to me the sheer number of little parts required. Due to high shipping costs, I have to make sure when I order I am ordering several items to make it worthwhile. Nothing worse than paying $10 to $12 dollars for shipping on a $2 seal. A lot of time that means things sit while you wait for parts. Very frustrating.
Having to be on a fixed income is also very frustrating. When I was working I always had the money needed to get whatever parts necessary. Now I have to watch every penny just to make it to the next check. Greg (my resto man) and I are hoping to have the GT finished around June. It's going to be awful tight with the funds as I still have to order my carpet, the headliner material and new wheels and tires.
Been more than once I have contemplated selling the roadster just so I wouldn't have to worry about having the money to finish the GT. The wife likes the roadster as much as I do and has encouraged me to keep her. Gotta love that woman.
