The silly season certainly slowed down progress on the old girl... who am I kidding my lazy ass slowed down progress.

A few too many nights on the wines and late dusty sleep ins slowed down progress.

But.. some progress is better than no progress am I right?

Finally got around to fixing up the door cards, used the old engineers trick, if its broke fix it with duct tape and glue. We used a wood glue on any cracks or stress and duct taped over them, some clamps from supercheap auto to stretch the vinyl out and glued them down too.. #boganhomejobs

A bit of black vinyl paint and they are looking banging, I was a bit hesitant at first, not really something you want to leave runs on, but ya girl came through. Woooo i should be a painter with this skill :lol: haha

Highly, highly recommend the VHT Vinyl paint, beautiful to use, easy and super clean *chefs kiss*

We did find some pinhole rust/holes on the passengers door in the process so we will look into whether it can be welded up when we eventually start to think about panel work.

Next on the the to do list - Put said panels back on with the shiny new door handles and window winders that arrived in the mail box not too long ago.. not a job I'm looking forward too, if taking off them off was anything to go by putting them back on is going to involve alot of swearing and maybe another almost black eye..
