nice idea with the camera! will you put braces in and get the inner sides original looking or are you lining with ply & crushed velvet trim etc?

Thinking more along the lines of shag for the walls in a contrasting colour

[Vombil]

shag... do it!

Back in the day you could buy bathroom carpet that was a shag pile with a rubberized backing. I did a lot of interiors with it. Not so sure its available any more but I loved it. It cut so well and glued up with no hassles using contact adhesive.

I was just telling a mate a few days ago to look for bathroom carpet for a van he bought. Back in the day, I used it on the inside of the tailgate on a couple of vans. It was nice n soft to sit on & it evened out the ribs, so at the drive-in so you could sit & talk to the girls before asking them into the van, The black bathroom carpet didn't last long, it faded colour to a dirty brown fairly quickly. If anyone has seen it for sale let us know thanks

cheers
