This Amendment No. 89 amends the Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, jointly on behalf of Heartland Industrial Associates L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("HIA"), Heartland Industrial Partners (FF), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("HIPFF"), Heartland Industrial Partners (C1), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("HIPC1"), Heartland Industrial Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("HIP"), HIP Side-By-Side Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("HIP Side LP"), and HIP Side-By-Side IA, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("HIP Side" and, collectively with HIA, HIPFF, HIPC1, HIP and HIP Side LP, the "Reporting Heartland Entities") and David A. Stockman, with respect to the common stock, par value $.01 (the "Common Stock"), of Collins & Aikman Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings heretofore ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D, as amended prior to the date hereof.

This filing is being made principally to reflect the inclusion of 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock held by HIP Side LP since June 6, 2002, but inadvertently excluded from previous filings. These shares were not purchased by the Reporting Heartland Entities, but rather were contributed by a limited partner of HIP Side LP in connection with its June 6, 2002 formation. In addition, this filing is made to reflect certain transfers of shares of Common Stock among the Reporting Heartland Entities. These transfers do not change the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Heartland Entities.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is hereby amended as follows:

(a)-(b) At the close of business on August 28, 2006, the Reporting Heartland Entities beneficially owned an aggregate of 34,314,147 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 41.0% of the outstanding Common Stock. The beneficial ownership of each of the Reporting Heartland Entities is as set forth below:

Reporting Heartland Entity	Number of Shares	Percentage (1)

Heartland Industrial Associates L.L.C. (2)	34,314,147	41.0%


Heartland Industrial Partners (FF), L.P. (3)	391,273	0.5%


Heartland Industrial Partners (C1), L.P. (3)	76,130	0.1%


Heartland Industrial Partners, L.P. (4)	31,826,755	38.1%



HIP Side-By-Side Partners, L.P.	1,895,790	2.3%


HIP Side-By-Side IA, L.L.C.	124,199	0.1%

(1) The indicated percentages are based on the 83,630,087 shares of Common Stock which the Company reported to be outstanding on October 31, 2004, the most recent date for which information is publicly available.

(2) HIA, as the general partner of each of the other Reporting Heartland Entities, has voting power and investment power (as such terms are defined in Rule 13d-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by each of the other Reporting Heartland Entities, and, accordingly, is deemed to share beneficial ownership of such securities with such entities. Daniel P. Tredwell, as managing member of HIA, may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Heartland Entities. Mr. Tredwell disclaims such beneficial ownership.

(3) Held of record by an entity 84%-owned by HIPFF and 16%-owned by HIPC1.

(4) Includes 26,448,713 shares of Common Stock held of record by a wholly owned subsidiary.

(c) Except as set forth below, the Reporting Heartland Entities have not engaged in any transactions in the shares of Common Stock in the last 60 days:

On August 29, 2006, 36,119 and 225,790 shares of Common Stock were transferred, without consideration, from the brokerage account of HIP to the brokerage accounts of HIPC1 and HIP Side LP, respectively, in order that the record ownership of shares of Common Stock by such Reporting Heartland Entities would accurately reflect such Reporting Heartland Entities' beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock.

SIGNATURES

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
