has anyone tried their hand at re-vinyl'ing their interior?
like the top of the doors, and the area under the rear window.
where can you buy this stuff from?
looks quite possible if its available.
anyone used something different? fabric or something?

Tops of the doors??? You mean the roof lining? if thats already vinyl just spray it with vinyl spray. As for everything else, just take off the panel, buy some vinyl and some spray adhsive to stick it down.
I just recently re-upholsetered the entire interior of my RA28, including carpets, new door trims, all panels, roof etc. Vinyl is reasonbly cheap, at about 12-15 p/m (look in the yellow pages for your local upholstry dealer/supplier). Spray adhesive is expensive though, at $30 a can (For 3M as its industrial strength and you dont want it too peal off in the heat).
Other than that its just a matter of having ago. Tips i have - double measure how much vinyl you need and lay out and plan your steps. It was my first time doing this (in my RA28), and by taking it slowly, i ended up with a great final product 
Hope this helps - Spectre

hrmns.. deeeeeef wanna do the dash.
cracked and dead.. hehe
and I don't think there is one in existance that would be in better condition.. lol.
my formulation:
sellies 'space filler' to fill the gaps(cracks/ravines)..
then sand him fown flush and stick some vinyl over.
sounds simple... *grin*
though I think this will be the plan of action..... after I have the car sand blasted.
know any good (read cheap) places to get this done?
it seems about $400 (minus the doors, and bonnet) and $300 for a coat of primer. then about $200 for the bonnet and doors blasted.
