I have a couple Z-cars, 1978.

with restoration I hope for good advice to save expenses.

Is a carpet kit any bettr or worse than a custom cut carpets. ZI also dont know how to "know the finest materials such as long lasting foam seat insert etc.

Should I paint the car before or after the interior plastics and carpets refrubishments.

Under the hood all the bushings and boots, in general all 30 year old rubber pieces should be replaced.

Recommend you paint the car before you do the interior work and replace all the rubber because you can strip the car of the windows and replace the rubber in doors and window after painting. I bought carpet kit and didn't research custom so can't answer question on that. When you strip the car, you don't want a nice interior to get dirty from all the work.

Thanks. I am very proud of them. The hardest part of my day, is deciding which one I am going to drive. It is a tough life.

Do you notice that these drive differently at all?

Sounds like my 83, almost like a tractor, but once warmed up they like to party.
