i thought i would put some strips on the back of the rear seat
i also decided to put some on the wooden cargo floor area that i made up
just need to screw them down now i think ive got the spaceing right
the rest of the cargo area will be trimed in the same buck skin vinly material
and the tailgate will have the same strips and covered in the buck skin as well
i also have had the tailgate support arms and brackets rechromed just waiting to get them back to fit up

Looks terrific Jay. To be honest, I thought the beige/bone seat trim colour was an odd choice, but seeing it in the car, it looks great against the wood and silver. Well done 8)

:) thanks Andrew :wink: as you know with your own build mate you get a vision
of a finished car in your mind and my vision of the wagon is
slowly :oops: comming together i did think of doing the interia
the same color blue as the outside but my first choice was the sandstone /buckskin
colour once all the door trims hood line and carpet is in it will all complement the body color
nicely well thats the plan :D

Sweet wagon, great work. Love the classy colour combo, and that timber looks a treat 8) You need some timber hoodlining like an old woody now :wink:
