First sliding door card

This was basically not fun!!
8 hrs give or take to get this stage measuring- cutting- measuring-cutting - swearing etc.
When glue all dry and my back is functional again, it'll be fitting one more time to see if any of the inside face if panel shows through window when open , which I think some part probably will . I'll then have to find a way of making a frame albeit cloth or wood so it looks neat from inside.
Never expected it to be easy but bloody hell !



Update: 05/11/2016

Once the panel was fitted it did not look right that great expanse of cream suede! Also as the doors get a lot of use I feel that it will get grubby very quick! 
I'm changing the headlining to vinyl as again it could become grubby very quickly, we've chosen lighter shade of cream when its re applied we will look again and maybe use the same vinyl for the two sliding door but look at putting a different coloured panel in the middle to break up the "slab of beige" 
So when the seats have been re upholstered in a couple of weeks we will look again!
