Did you make the upholstery panels or did you hire someone to do that ?
So it was originally a USA truck ?
Why did it get shipped to Norway ?
It's interesting to hear how some vehicles end up in places you normally don't find them.

Very nice quality work. Better than the original.

I'm not happy with the strength of the Plastidip on the door panels (already started peeling), so I have bought some flocking equipment and will try this next.
It's a US truck, yes. Someone moved from the US to Norway back in '99 and brought the truck with them. It's a very rare truck over here, because they didn't sell very well back then. I bought some differential oil at a local parts store and they did a search on '88 Dakota and told me only three of these was registered in Norway.

I had someone else do the upholstery. The headliner should also be done when I get home from work next time.

Don't use plasti dip it's a good temporary paint I guess more or less to give you an idea of how it looks. That **** peals so easy. I did a bumper 6-7 months ago and it's still holding... Longest I've ever seen it last. You'd probably be better off buying some paint made for plastic, I'm not quite sure how to successfully paint plastic with out having it chip in a year but if love to hear if you figure it out

There is a brand of rattle can paint made for plastic. It probably would not be legal in Ca. or any other place with VOC laws.
