FS: Carpet for passenger compartment of Westy. I needed to replace the carpet for the passenger compartment of my 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia. I went to down to a local carpet shop and found a remnant of a good looking carpet to match my brown van with tan interior. The carpet needed to be about 4 feet by 4 feet. The remnant was four feet long, but was twelve feet wide. So instead of wasting the extra 8 feet, I had the shop bind up 2 extra carpets for me. The end result is that I have three very nice looking area rugs that fit perfectly (well almost) in the passenger compartment of my van. I only need one, so I am hoping to sell the other two at my cost plus shipping. Pictures here: http://www.twistedlimbpaper.com/brian/vanagon/vw_carpet.htm They are mostly brownish so they look great in a van with tan interior, but they also include some grayish tones so they would probably look good in a van with gray interior as well. They are 49.5 inches long and 46 inches wide. As you can see in the pictures, the guy cut them about half an inch too long, so there is a very slight curl at one end when placed in the van. At first I was annoyed at this, but the guy did them in a rush for me and I got them the day before leaving on a week-long trip around Michigan and I didn�t have time to have them fixed. On the trip I immediately fell in love with the carpet and quickly stop noticing the curl. You probably would too, but if you really wanted you could probably trim one end and re-stitch the binding. I�d like to get $45 for each one, plus actual shipping costs (the remnant was relatively inexpensive, the binding wasn�t). Similar ones the vendors are selling are going for $90-$100. This is your chance to get a great deal! I�ll ship them via UPS Ground. I�m in the Midwest and it looks like shipping to either coast will be about $10. In the pictures you will notice that the color looks brown in the indoor pictures and grey in the outdoor pictures. The actual color falls somewhere in the middle.
