Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
lower...the fuse panel is from american auto wire hwy22 series (can get it from summit)
The headlight buckets are from a place called mini mania in Ca. The fuse panel I've used probably 5 or 6 now and love there kits. All the wires come separate sections (or bags) and only use what you need vs. A huge bundle coming out of the fuse box. Mark

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
nice buckets! I buy VW Golf headlights with the adjusters on them already for the same reason, the stock buckets are always trashed

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
I use new MKI golf assemblies, mine are a special application because I need separate high and low beams, the 98+ s10 electrical switches ground and so you cant use a common ground on a 3 prong light, but you can get new assemblies with plugs and bulbs for less than $100
like this https://www.classiceuroparts.com/pro...ion-kit-plugs/ rebuilding stock buckets feels like an eternity to the 5 minute job putting the new housings in. you may not need to cut the backs off with that setup I linked, but my new lights are so deep I have to cut the part of the stock bucket that holds the ring and then sandwich it in between the fender and the new adjuster.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Here are a few shots of the progress of the panels.
Pic 1. Getting the corner piece ready for plastic. Pic 2. The plastic glued in place. Pic 3. The corner pieces covered with vinyl and installed. The plastic I'm using is a extruded type 1/8" thick and takes shape with some heat. This product was recommended by (Erin Ruddy) from Ruddymade Interiors. It can be cut with a razor knife if needed. And using contact cement to glue the material to the plastic. Mark.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Now time for the center panel.
Pic 1. I used 2 layers of the plastic and glued them together using C.A. glue (aka super glue) and using activator. Pic 2. I drilled 1/2" holes for the rare earth magnets (N52) And glued them in place. Pic 3. The vinyl installed. Pic 4. Panel in place. So since I'm using magnets and the back panel is metal they hold the panel in place nicely. The magnets are 1/2 x 1/8 or 12mm x 3mm and got them on Ebay My CA glue and activator I get from 12volt tools. Mark

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Here are the items from 12volt tools.
The CA glue I have is the thin Use medium instead. The epoxy is probably one of the best I've used.

Moving on to the door panels.
Pic 1. Here is a shot of the template. Pic 2. The template sitting on the door. The tabs will be bent to slide into the door and help hold in place. Pic 3. After cutting the sheetmetal out and bending the tabs,I marked and cut the slots in the door. Pic 4. A shot of the panel in place. Pic 5. Here, simply showing the door pull and upper panel. Mark.
