Had to get another rear door. Warped the other one too bad. good news is the body work is happening and we should be ready for paint soon.

Quick update. Getting closer to color. Got the new door shaved now.




Tail light buckets are getting worked over.




Body panels are smoothed out and will be receiving epoxy primer next to seal all the bodywork.





Sorry for the boring pics but body work isn't exactly photogenic. But it is getting smooth and almost ready for color. Can't wait.

Looks like a fun project!

So while the body work is getting done I decided to start on the interior. I got some SEM Color Coat vinyl coating to help dye the original faded and yellowed interior plastics.


In the next few pics you can see the difference it makes on some scrap interior parts. These are some ashtrays and an old storage pocket that show the old yellowed condition of many of the interior parts of my van.










I also got some samples of the suede I'll be using for the upper half of the interior. I think I'm going to do a dark charcoal carpet and I think I may end up with the lighter suede color on the top. What do you think?
