And more fun to come for the MGA. Otherwise known as carpet.  And whatever you think you know from American cars - the British have a totally different idea. A two seat roadster has about 18 different pieces - and that is just to get to the back shelf. It doesn't cover it. Some are glued in and some use lift the dots fasteners. Of course Moss Motors sent me the pieces. You have to install the fasteners. As a very knowledgeable person on the MGA forum put it - no one includes instructions any more since you might mess up and demand a new set. The new versions of the carpet do not have sown edges - you get to trim as needed. This is totally different than my first MGA. Carpet took about half a day and a staple gun. The garage warned me that they usually needed about 15 hours to do it right.  Grrrr.....

And forgot to add - can't do the carpet until I get the car back. Probably end of year so I get to do this in cold garage
