Cut the foam to fit
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/johannes.roussel.free.fr-179-1274228004.1.JPG) Put the large basketweave vinyl and the small smooth vinyl. Smooth vinyl must be reversed ... the first paperboard band and stapple ! Use long stapples this time. I used 6 mm this time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/johannes.roussel.free.fr-179-1274228008.2.JPG) Cut the basketweave vinyl so it fits. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/johannes.roussel.free.fr-179-1274228013.3.JPG) Stapple ... short stapples needed . I used 4mm (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/johannes.roussel.free.fr-179-1274228017.4.JPG) Nice ! no folds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/johannes.roussel.free.fr-179-1274228021.5.JPG) |

Stapple the foam with the second band of paperboard ... over the first band
I know, this is not the way it was done on the original door, but this way I avoid using glue ... I hate glue, it has to dry and it stinks !

Excellent job, I didn't know you could use an iron to straighten the door panels.

Forgot to tell you that it takes about 3 to 4 hours to achieve one door.

Yes.
Instead of the fiber panel forming the rolled edge at the top there is a metal piece that clips to the top of the panel. The metal piece is 2"-3" wide. |

Yes and the vinyl is also different, the basketweave has a different design on 75 and 76. I was told it is easier to find. I found it in France. This may be used in more other cars. Someone posted another tread with early doors restoration, that's why I posted this tread with the late doors. You can wtch this thread for the early doors panel ... not restored to original but you can see the difference with late panels. EARLY DOORS BY AARON COX And Also this page that shows detailed pictures on how to remove the panels. HOW TO REMOVE THE PANELS |

Nice Job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)
I'redid the door panels on my -6r,and the tuck & roll kicked my a@*. I ended up taking it to a local upholsterer,and paid him $100.00 to straighten my mess out. Ron |

Johannes,
That is excellent work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Much easier than the method I used. I bet your wife would have kicked your ass around your ears for using her nice iron and board. And then to top it off work on the kitchen table. If I tried that at home I would most likely get caught and beaten senseless.... I love it when shes rough. Hummm maybe I should do something stoopid.
