Restoring 40 Year Old Ford Interior PVC Plastic Trim | Fix Cracks, Clean, Texture, Paint

- Our 1988 Ford IDI flatbed brushfire truck conversion has its work cut out for it -- pulling a 36' 5th wheel RV through Mexico to Belize where it (and us) will permanently reside. It will never be a show truck, but we're giving it a complete once over in preparation for the overland journey.
The interior PVC plastic trim pieces are sun-damaged, cracked and worn from 4 decades of heavy use. Here, Mike gives us a look at the process he's using on all the interior trim panels including, cleaning and prep, ABS cement repair on cracks and broken pieces, quick texture tips and paint matching. The end result isn't show quality, but is a great improvement. "Tweety" will soon be ready for his next great adventure.

excellent content!!! Love the tip on ABS glue, just what i needed.
Great Video, Thank so much for all your thought on this. Well Done
Thanks for the ABS cement trick.
Sure! Hope it worked for you!
Great technique and explanations
Hi
I lived in belize over various periods from 1976 to 1983 (ex military) and worked all over the country. Fantastic country. I also taught sub aqua on St Georges caye as well. Truly jealous of your trip as I live in the UK now. Maybe one day I may get the chance
It feels like a great place to us as well! Although, it's changed a LOT since you lived there. But, so glad you had the opportunity! Maybe again one day!
Thankyou
you covered it well but one question what did you use for cleaner before painting
Turned out gorgeous brother! Good detailed work goes a long way... how is the longevity holding up over the year?
do you have any tips for restoring the wood trim from these model broncos? my "wood" is all faded and scratched off and I'm not sure how to fix it.
No, haven't had an opportunity to work on the wood much. Let me know what you figure out!
Any advice on some seriously damaged Pinto passenger compartment side panels?
What kind of damage, exactly? Structural cracks or surface damage?

I’ll take a few pictures and send you the link. Missing pieces where the top of the panel meet under the side windows.
I was thinking of shaping a form to use epoxy shape it and go from there.
