New door panel trim, super nice OEM map pockets and arm rest complete this project.
I'm real pleased with the final look, but this is where the project started to spiral out of control. The seat and headliner are new, and the dash pad is nearly new, but after the door panel restoration everything else looked horrible. So next thing you know, seats are out, carpet pulled, door carpets removed, and an order placed for new parts. Definitely not what I planned, and way over budget now. But I hope it will be worth it in the end.
Is the door panel fabric around the handle refurbished or new?
