Carpet and Floor Insulation.
I took my carpet out and washed it with my pressure washer. Didn't know how it would turn out, but it came out looking good! Then installed this sticky aluminum backed insulation and put carpet pad over that. The arrows are where the heat comes out for the back seat floor.

finished floor

If you look you'll notice my door panels were off. I was in the process of restoring those. I'll post those next.

I haven't seen a 91 that clean in probably 15 years. Looks good.

this is my door panel restoration. a lot of the plastic had cracked so I epoxied it.
Did both doors like this.


this is the bottom of the door panel. it'* carpet on some kind of fiber board. the carpet was peeling off so I glued it back. the black around the speaker hole is mesh I put on with contact cement.

I made a new speaker grill out of hardboard, glued it in place.

the trim had come of the top edge.

so I bought some fabric and cut and glued it on.

fabric glued on.

I glued carpet pad on the back for sound deadening. didn't work out to well. I couldn't get the panel on and had to take about half of it off.
