Plywood door cards any good?

Post by Emma&Al »

I think I posted this question a while back, but can't seem to find my post.

I have a Caravelle with poor condition original door cards..thinking of getting a pre cut set for £90 on eBay... any thoughts on these?

Thanks Emma :)

I've had some of these Emma. They're not too bad if a little oversized on the doors and despite my requesting that the grain was the same on all panels, as I would be varnishing them, some of them were different shades.
They needed sanding smooth a couple of times a few times after each coat of yacht varnish but they've come up well and I've attached them using stainless steel screws and cups.

Thanks Neilh - on one listing on eBay, they offer to varnish them for you, so maybe thats a good option for me. Thanks for the advice :)

Thanks fazzer - can I ask what sort of carpet you used and where you got it from? Thanks

Yeah no worries,it was the grey stretch van liner carpet really easy to use and looks good.Also bought on eBay it was about £100 including the adhesive.You can get it in other colours.
