hi there,
I have been busy installing new furlex to the door openings and suffered many problems reagrding the size and inability to fit the size of the lips, but more to that later.
I have removed the outside rear 1/4 panel , because it showed bubbles which are rust under the surface of the covering.
When I removed the covering , it was a paper thin black stuff, the thinnest type of vinyl ever? so the question is the following: if it is recovered with standard vinyl , which is thicker, will it still fit back in its original place on the car? I ask this because someone must have been down this path before....
I removed the little boat signs on the outside of the panel and have discovered that they are made of plasichrome plastic, and I thought that they were Rover quality aluminum, now to find a replacement , one is rusty, is that possible with plastichrome?
BTW, a guy in australia invented plastichrome and sold the rights to it for $ 6000- to a car company in the USA, that used to make holdens..........sigh...such is life............
