To say the kick panels were shot was un understatement! They just jumped out and said the whole car is junk to me. So, I set out to clean them up just a bit. Click on the images for a larger view.

     
Step one was to glass bead them and you can see right away the beaded one on the left had already fixed the problem by cleaning off all of the decomposed plastic. At that point I considered just using a vinyl restorer or wax and calling it done, but decided to apply a vinyl color coat. (Paint) This is shown in the centre and RH pictures. Next time I get a bit of time I will vacuum the carpets and give them a shot of color as well.
