Starting the trim.

I've started on the trim with the items I'm able to complete myself. I have made new backing boards for the front kick panels and re upholstered them in black vinyl. I had to straighten the rear parcel shelf by soaking it in water and pressing it straight before replacing the vinyl on it. It looks a bit grubby and stained but that will never been seen. The rear sections under the rear window have been re made with 3mm MDF as they are rotten and too far gone. Once these trim pieces are finished the shell will go to the trimmer for a new headliner and to have the back seat re covered. I pick up the recovered dash top on Christmas eve.
