Hi Troppo,
Got lucky and bought an interior advertised on gumtree over in WA. Drewdog lived just down the road from where the gear was and he very generously offered to eyeball the gear for me and let me know if it was any good, which fortunately it was, the front door cards being the ones I've refurbished on this thread. he even organized the freight for me, for which I'm very grateful. The vinyl is  a bit knocked around but not so noticeable with now being black. As regards reproduction stuff, I have seen good looking fiberglass ones available on Ebay , which were $175 a pair, if you have good vinyl you can always glue them on and no one would know any different .
Cheers,
Len

Hi Flighter,
Never did get to see that movie... how did bags of sand come into it??

Hi All,
Second panel finished today. Found fitting from the top allowed more stretch to the material so ended up with reasonable sized edges to finish with. Vinyl followed the contours fairly well, wouldn't be show standard but better than what I had. Finished with alloy strip on top to match the front door trims and silver trim around the ashtrays to breakup the solid black and in keeping with the black/silver theme in the cabin. Next job is the chrome gutter trim - anyone done this job-any hints, please. Got the plastic chrome stuff which will need heating/ softening to fit the curves.   Len

Thanks,
Pulled out the whole rear seat assembly yesterday so I could refit them with all the locating plugs to make it a snug fit. Also gave me the opportunity to give it a bit of a cleanup and take some more pics for my RS build which I didn't take while putting the car together initially. All I have left to do inside now is to get my instruments working properly and/or fit aftermarket gauges and get the fan switch assy working.
Cheers,
Len

Keeps looking better and better, wish mine was progressing as well lol
 

Yeah thats the one Len, they have the metal strip and the felt aswell. There is a slight difference in the angle of the rubber lip that sits on top of the roll but being soft rubber it moulds itself no worries. I needed to drill some 1mm holes in the steel band to get the wire through to secure them. A couple of the roll tops had some 'wobbles' in them but with the help of the steel band and some strategically places ties it straightened and stiffened the whole lot nicely....
Cheers Drew.....

Hi Drew,
Had to pull my door trim off to fix the armrest mounting clip so decided to redo the inner trim seal the same way as you said in your previous post. The seal is nice and firmly fixed and provides a good seal against the window and looks a lot neater too. Will now redo the other side. Nice bit of innovation!!
Cheers,
Len
