Another Classic being brought back

[ukadamwest]

Went to painters yesterday. Paint is in process panel dings are being flushed out.

 

[ukadamwest]

here's the quarter panels. old damaged cracked at edges and torn around tailgate vinyl removed and recovered.

Looking good Adam, i like the corner panels re covered, think i'll be
doing mine at some stage

 

[ukadamwest]

thanks dunkan, it was probably the easiest thing. finding the right vinyl texture I'll send you the link if you like 1m was £6.00 . pop off the spring clips on the vent grills, peel off the old vinyl lay the two panels on the vinyl sheet to get the angle and cut shape, spray the glue (farbric / carpet adhesive ) wrap it around tight pulling round the contours and working it with your thumbs, trim about 1cm around the edges lapping it over, apply more adhesive to the the flaps and you're done.

 

[dunkan]

I'll send you mine

 

[ukadamwest]

I'll send you mine

i should have kept my mouth shut !

 

[dunkan]

Don't worry mate, i'll have a bash at mine, how hard can it be ? i used
to do stuff with sticky back plastic watching Blue Peter a few years ago
