From my 70/4....original, but nasty on the back. Unless I've missed it somewhere, I've not seen any door panel resto threads. The backside of the panels are pretty grungy, which doesn't surprise, 'cause when I'd slam the doors closed, foam crap would fall out the bottom.
Suggestions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Attached image(s) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Boy, this one won't be easy. You need new backer boards, because yours look pretty rotted & warped. Not sure if you can salvage the upholstery (can't tell by the pics). You obviously need new vapor barriers too. Haven't seen anything on eBay to replace your originals, though there is a company offereing replacement smooth vinyl upholstery mounted on fiberglass backers. Good idea (in theory) & probably undetectable from the outside, but I know nothing about them. You may want to check them out. Probably should give "uncle George" a call too. He may have something squirrelled away. Lotsa luck! Pat |
