    Nice color.
    You ever wonder what medieval cook looked at the guts of a pig and thought, "I bet if you washed out that poop tube, you could stuff it with meat and eat it."

          I ordered some corduroy samples, trying to get as close as I can to the original. Still not happy with any of these, but running short on options.

            This one has been on hold for a little while. Last night tho, I did get around to finally matching the interior colors so I can refinish the worn trim, armrests and make one of my consoles to match. After trying a lot of different cans, I finally found an almost perfect match or Leather, Vinyl and Plastic refinisher. What do you think?
            (the plastic piece is the original and the armrest part is the refinished piece).

              looks good jim,...

              that will be a nice wagoneer, ...gold is cool.

              i have seen that ribbed fabric before

              when i was looking for alternatives,....

              you know, the caravans and voyager vans of the 80s/90s

              used very similar, if not the same, cloth inserts as wagoneers

              i wonder if any of the new old stock suppliers has some for vans,....
              .......worth a try.

                  Nice work, which technique, the rubber wheel or the heat gun?


                  And for the armrest which paint reference number did you use?


                  Thank you
                  Michel
                  74 wag, 349Kmiles on original ticker/trany, except for the rust. Will it make it to the next get together without a rebuilt? Status: needs a new body.
                  85 Gwag, 229 Kmiles. $250 FSJ test lab since 02, that refuses to give up but still leaks.

                      Jim, do you remember which paint color you used for the arm rest? I desperately need to do that with my faded Honey arm rests.

                      Thanks!
