I mounted the sill trims (stainless steel) yesterday.



And today I retrimmed the driver's door panel in vinyl to match the seats.  It turned out well, despite me being an amateur.

Next: passenger side....

Opposite side is done.  Small black dot is for the passenger grab handle screw.  There were lots of holes drilled into the stainless steel strips by a previous owner so I just glued some small screw heads in them to make them slightly less obvious.  I'd like eventually to get better ones to use, but I don't feel the need to anytime soon.

Original Italian rubber mats glued in on the passenger side.  53 years old and still in good shape.  Driver's side should be done Sunday though I will have to repair the tiny stainless steel cover between the sill rubber and rear seat area rubber, barely visible on the passenger side.  On the driver's side it needs to be ground down smooth and polished due to seat belt damage
