So I decided to re do the interior on my LUV and decided to go with brown carpeting and, wood door/dash and what ever other i decide to cover with wood paneling, and i was curious about good adhesive to adhere glue to wood or plastic, and also any other tips anyone may have for me as far as this goes... I know alot of you have knowledge, and i will post pics as i go to show what ive done... also anyone here know of any good seats that will look good in the LUV that way i can re-upholster them to go woth the rest of the theme... So any advice /input would be awesome

FIAA!

SFPP!

Ditto. Great stuff. Make sure to apply it to both pieces, let it dry a bit and then position it correctly before you set it firm. I use a dry weenie roller to smooth it all out once I've got my pieces together.

If you wanted to do pieces of the dash in woodgrain, you could try something like this:

Another option might be a 'wood veneer' vinyl applique (decal). I'm sure this is pricey, but you get the idea...

Keep us posted with some photos on what you decide to do. Have fun

I'm gonna be using paneling the kind that you see on your walls in old trailers and the like, so it will have to be a good solid glue that wond come apart on me, its not like a roll on type of paper or the like im usung actual wood wall paneling... Oh and would anyone know of a good center consol that would fit in a luv, that also has the hand break at your side and not under the dash?

thanks

Here's my 2 cents worth as of now! These came out of a 1988 Hyundai Excel sedan! (Of all things! ) They fit like a glove with only drilling a couple of holes. I am hoping in the next few weeks to install a center console from a 1993 Ford Explorer. That thing is huge inside for all my cd's, has cupholders, and a fold down armrest for comfort. I will post pics as soon as it's in!
