    Recently made up some new door trims.

    Ripped the old ****ty vinyl off the stock door cards and recovered them with a tweed like material. Came up pretty nice for a first timer.

    Hi Tim!

    Really, stoked to hear that, thanks man! Well I have to get to the stance yours is in before paint haha

    I'm based in the North Island, and Christchurch is in the South so I'm ok, but its totally devestating. Words cant really describe it
