Congratulations,

They are a lot more work than you think! We are getting to the end of ours after two years with only the headlining to do (gulp).

Kind regards,

I openly admit I did nothing myself other than search for a few parts on the internet.

I did contemplate whether she should have been painted at all because I did like the old patina however the doors, especially the rear doors were too far gone to be repaired so she would have ended up with new door skins anyway.
