Matthew,

I can answer on carpets, since I did the exact same thing myself.  (Never
liked blue carpeting...)
I bought a complete set (11 pieces, includes front seat pedestals) from
GoWesty! in march for $395.  Their part# is GVW-255-8091, and they had a
couple of color choices.  Don't know if there are cheaper options, but the
quality of these was quite good, though not quite OEM.

Subject: Door lock ? and Carpet kits

Hello all, well, I made my way back to the junk yard today, I was going to
remove the door lock assembly (driver's side, 86 2wd Van) becuase I thought
mine was broken. Basically, I can't seem to lock it (tried various
combinations of closer door, lifted handle, etc, and the know will not go
down. However when I got to the junkyard, the 2 vans their (both Aircooled)
did the same thing... all of the other locks work great, but neither of
these would lock either.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it just a coincidence that all three of
froze?

Also, does anyone make FULL replacement carpets for 86 Vans (non camper, L
model?)? I've seen the pad kits, but I wan't to replace EVERYTHING, and
change the color.

Thanks,
Matthew
