While we're on the subject of restoring 83 westys, can anyone give me a source for or a good replacement for the thin plastic facing on all of the wood panels in the interior? Mine has mostly peeled off. I've been told that commercial vinyl wallpaper (available in 54" wide swaths) is not a good replacement because of temperature induced shrinkage/expansion, however I am not convinced yet that a good spray trim adhesive would not keep things in place...
