Default Back deck

The carpet in this mercedes i found out is Winton Wool Carpet and The color is Palomino like the pony.
It is expensive to get a piece.
I may do the console piece and the back deck with a new piece.
Ill post more pics in a bit.

Default Wire

The plastic sheathing is very thick but the wire is not too thick.
This prevents me from ever having to worry about it again.
As far as stereo that will be the last thing on this car.
I need a window regulator and other parts that i can't afford right now and its gonna be a long and broke winter for alot of folks including me.
Think the speakers and stereo will be a springtime project but you never know.

Default back deck

This is the back piece i took out.
Not sure what to do now.
I may make a replacement with 1" foam and cover it with carpet but i am still debating. Any suggestions?
