I tried bending the plywood, but the cheap plywood delaminated when wet and didn't fit the corners as well as my two piece experiment so I just did that. Its nothing fancy, just finishing off the area to cut down on noise and have a finished surface to strap to. The ceiling is tomorrow. I did it once already, but i am not happy with the fit on a couple parts.

Did you resolve this problem? Have the same issue with shocks on my G30 1979. No the problem would require another purchase. So far the shocks seem to be working pretty well and I am not terribly unhappy as this is a freeway and city van mostly. If it does become a problem. I will buy the Bilstein shocks next. | | | Re: 95 G30 Tow Project. | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 3,113 Likes: 2 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: May 2006 Posts: 3,113 Likes: 2 | Lookin good, what kind of material did you use? | | | Re: 95 G30 Tow Project. | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 132 member | OP member Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 132 | .edited

So 50ft x 4ft roll should do the top and both sides along with the rear panels with some small bits left over. | | | Re: 95 G30 Tow Project. | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 132 member | OP member Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 132 | I am pretty much done, just one more piece to cut and cover on the top, but I am waiting on more material. I was looking at the sliding side door and thinking about making a door panel for that too. I see though the round lock knob on the inside sits right up to the door, no room for a .2 piece of wood behind it. My options look to be getting a hole saw slightly bigger than the knob so a door panel can sit around it, or just doing a half panel and leaving the upper panel as bare metal. Anyone else run into this? Did you solve the problem differently?

The gears looked awful in the auction pictures, so much so that I and everyone else on eBay let them sit there for over two months. The seller said they were mostly just dirty from sitting on the shelf though, so I took a chance after another set arrived at my door step with some missing teeth courtesy of the USPS and a poor packing job. Fortunately this set arrived with just some minor dings and the gears were just dirty from sitting on a shelf.
