I've got a beat-up 91 that I bought for parts. I'd planned to junk it but it's low (170K) miles and has many new parts from the PO. I'm fixing it up so that I can keep my good one off the salty OH roads.

I stripped the interior & exterior of good parts and replaced the interior: rough tan seats (new foam in driver's) and blue door panels.

In the process of swapping parts I ended up short on inside door panels. This car has power windows. I cut holes in panels from a mechanical-window car and then snipped out a hole in each armrest for the power-window wires.

I'm hoping Art B and some of the others will appreciate this fine craftsmanship.

(Yes, I know my hand will hit the power switch when I open & close the door etc. And that the switches will repeatedly fall off.)
