VW T5 - Ply panels

My van came with a ply lining kit, but I think using this for the fabric panels has several big problems. The standard ply is very heavy, it needs trimming to allow room for the carpet and the drivers side panel is also in two pieces and I want to do it in one for a clean look.

I initially used white paper to create templates.





I then used the templates to cut new 3.6mm plywood. This is thin, stiff and light, and seems ideal for mounting the carpet lining on. I realise its not going to be weight baring, but I don't foresee that being a problem.
