I was actually thinking the other way around. silver with charcoal striping but your idea would also look good I think Dave.

Check Knox carpet on ebay. The GTO floor pan is the same as GC/D

You will be waiting a long while as its going to be at least a year or two build maybe more depending on if I can get everything right my biggest worry is finding a wiring loom for it as the one that's in it I wouldn't even try and fix its been in the weather for a while

I think if you kept the dash specific plugs, assuming they are different, and the plugs for the extra gauges, then pretty much everything else is the same a GC/D

I hope you've got all the rest of the bits to go with that?

BTW, I'm watching this build, I'm very interested to see what you end up doing with it.

I had a look at the website video for Knox and was a bit so-so on it.
I have seen people say that it needs a bit of modification too.
I purchased this;

I haven't installed it yet but it looks very cool. Will be a while before that happens too. Maybe October???
