Well , I'm am disappointed [:-(] ,

just got an email back from the Aldridge's and they have looked at

my images of the trims, realised they can't do MK2 4 door trims,

I had chopped the inner top frame from other doors and kept them for

just incase I had to make my own frme and board for the trim, it

looks like that's the way to go now,

Paul, I have sent you an email,

thanks every one,

Jim

Jim,

It may be worthwhile speaking to Vintage Motor Garage at Wisemans Ferry (if you don't mind speaking to the opposition ) as I remember from our factory inspection a couple of years ago that they had a well developed trim shop.

Try contacting Pro-Stitch they currently do all the popular stuff but have the equipment to do new Door Cards and Dash Reco's. They may need some original examples to copy if they haven't done them before. But they did my 72 Capri Door Cards and the Rear Seat side panels as well, Completely original

What would really help me is a good close up pic of the chrome beading seen on the interior. I have access to a good a upholsterer called dad, it will take some attempts but i know his perfectionist attitude will end up in a supreme result. [:u]

There is a solution - Jeff Bloom from Aust Muscle Car Traders is making these for Mk 2 2 Doors.

How do I know this? Jeff bought some old doors cards from me and was going to use these to build moulds for after market reproductions. I've sent him an email after this post ewent up to see how it was progressing. He has come back to me and tells me they are available for $880 (4 door cards) plus $55 freight Aust wide. I haven't seen pic, but he indicated they have the chrome Mylar (?) - it appears the Aldridge ones don't have this (only based on their web site).

Owners of 4 Doors - I've sent an email back to see if he is making these so I'll update this post when I get a reply.

Address is RMB 3240 Wisemans ferry Rd central mangrove NSW and the Ph # is 0243731277
The quality of the workmanship in that place is unbeleivable.
I worked for the owners father for 9 years and know first hand what is expected from the tradesmen there. Jonathan Houston (the proprietor) is even more pedantic than his father ever was.

I saw a good looking set of black 4 door trims on trade me recently.

Might be worth a look.
