78-81 is the C210 skyline, so yes, they would be very different

they definately do C110 carpet kits on ebay in australia

just make sure you tell them it is either a coupe or sedan though.. they will be different

I'm interested, what's the difference in carpet between the Hardtop and Sedan?

i've got one of these kits in my car, and the fit & finish isn't so hot

if you haven't already bid, i'd suggest having the carpet done by a upholstery shop

hey guys,

just a heads up, never deal with a "company" called aus classics... i bought a set of carpets from them befoer christmas telling them that they i needed to recieve them by the first week of january to go in Brian's car before it shipped to him.

it didn't turn up until mid january (missed the boat so to speak!), so they said they would refund my money (i posted the carpets back the same day i received them). even though the guy promised to refund all of my money, it has taken 3 months, multiple unreturned phone calls and emails, and finally the threat of filing a police report against him to finally get my money back (after all that he wouldn't even refund my original shipping cost).

Do not deal with this guy, there are cheaper, better companies to buy through like.. http://www.tru-fitcarpets.com.au/

i wonder if they are the same outfit that sells on fleabay?

anyway, i'm in the process of ripping out that carpet kit; it's really the worst i've ever seen, and it's only a year old

they are not the one in the link above, but yes, they do

I called up these guys and they don't make the 240k 1973 coupe carpet, any other ideas guys?

i will try and find the reciept for the 1st set of carpets i bought a couple of years ago at summernats.. those where the best that i have seen! it was a place in melbourne i think

Thanks Kent, how's your beastie coming along?

[khughes]

sorry it took me so long.. it was definately tru-fit (it was a 2 piece st that i ordered at summernats one year).. it was a few years back now (maybe 3-4 years..) but i am hoping they still do them! it was so cheap too.. $129 shipped!! for the best carpet they did (which is now in bonzelite's car ) maybe the c210 ones are the same?

if you can convince them to find the mould, and get a good price, let me know! i need 2 sets! (i tried a set off ebay, and it was nowhere near as good)
