That would be my advice.

You can probably pick up some carpet remnants and do a half decent job of replacing the carpet yourself for real cheap. Might be funny to get a cheap oriental rug from somewhere and use that to cut up. You'll have to pull the seats, center console trim, and sill covers, which is easy, making a template from scratch might be a little more of a PITA, but might not be horrible. Maybe you could get a nasty carpet cheap from a junk yard to use.

I retired my '90 BJ, auto, with 297k miles on it... and it still ran like a champ (got the turbo legacy to replace it). I actually sold it to a guy who was in a bind, and I still see it on the road. So my input is that its a great everyday car. I believe it ran a 17.5sec quarter mile the day i brought it over to the track, lol. (you posted in the motorsports page, thought I'd throw that info out there)
