Neil, how did you colour the door trim and rear side panels? Are they covered or painted, they look very good.

Brian can actually supply matching blank or ribbed (for extra sensation) vinyl. He's got 4 yards of it on its way to me so I can do the door panels. Actually, on that subject, has anyone got a couple of rear arm rests knocking around as mine are totally shabby.

guys, the old interior had black vinyl stuck over the top of the original white panels. I had hoped that I could have restored the originals, but they in a poor state when I removed the vinyl. The adhesive had eaten into the plastic and they had started to go crumbly. They were also very yellowed with age. I got some VHT white vinyl dye, but it was way too bright white. I guess using a black dye would be more straightforward so long as the surfaces are scrupulously cleaned.
The "white" interior is more creamy in reality. The door panels and seat covers match quite well now

The panels are in as received condition, and I can see that they were painted.
I`ve kept all the old stuff for now, in case I can or someone else wants to restore them if it`s possible.
