ok i replaced the thermostat, thank god, now i have heat. The next thing that really concerns me is the trunk carpet. I'm going to make a nice firm trunk baseboard from MDF, and wrap it in auto carpet. the baseboard will be 3 pieces. The center board that covers the spare tire will be attached to the rear of the trunk with a hinge, so easy access to spare tire.

Anyone want to let me measure their carpet?
