-Green with Envy?

Mmm mint julep. Heard about it. No idea what it was. Looks delish.
Finished the top of the driver door.
The door panel was loose around the pocket, so I pulled some staples, cut some folds in the fabric that were hindering complete insertion of 3 clips, stretched the pocket elastic flat and restapled.
Lubed the door hinges, window reg, lock and latch. Removed the lock and polished the bar.
