BMK-125,
Doing a great job there, just goes to show what a bit of elbow grease (and obviously a lot of time) can achieve. Keep up the progressive photos!

Be a shame to put your muddy boots in there, or you can be a nut case like me, and have your muddy boots in the tool locker and put your slip ons, for in the cab,

Thanks for the comments guys..
Swishy, that informative diagram will come in very handy.. looking today seems someone has already had a crack going off the drilled holes and how easy they come up and down.. Wouldn't mind getting my hands on an air operated winder for the passenger side. I been in 900's and 904's before I bought this and cant quite lean over to roll it down no more!
Dave_64, thats it a bit of elbow grease goes a long way, and enjoying yourself while your at it is half the battle. Cheers
Fill, cheers will do buddy I am documenting everything as I go, should have the interior back together ready for monday so will post the pics up when its done.
Overnite, hahaha we must of fell from a similar tree I cringe at the thought. I have always kept a microfibre cloth on the dash and wipe the dash down 50 times a day and blow the cab out every time i open the door so mud carting is probably gonna be detrimental to my blood pressure!

BMK 125, I am enjoying your posts to. Just curious to know how you stripped the beige colour off the vinyl door liners. I wouldn't have
thought that would be easy.

Hi BMK,
That's a really great looking interior, imagine you vinyl sprayed over the beige door linings. I sprayed mine VHT red over the mismatched brown drivers door.

IHScout, roKWiz - sorry for the late reply I had a bit of a mishap been out of action for a few days.. the original trims were blue vinyl and had been sprayed with beige vinyl paint. I soaked a rag with thinners and wrung it out so it was damp but not dripping then wiped it over to soften the paint, then repeat with a second damp rag till all the old paint was gone, being careful not to soak it too much and soften the vinyl. They came up really nice
