I found some panels with no holes ... The vinyl was in bad shape but the core panel was almost OK ... Tht's what I was looking for ...
First of all, I removed the old vinyl.

Now, let's clean this 30 years old dust

Not that straight, but steam will cure that

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/johannes.roussel.free.fr-179-1274227846.7.JPG)

Some repairs will be needed too

With a good steam iron I got the panel straight again

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.
