A few before, and after pictures of the door jam. I’m looking for suggestions on how to preserve the old Service stickers? They are hard to read now. The top sticker is showing 27,883 miles on 7/8/71 and the bottom sticker is showing 29,457 on 10/27/72.
He put a lot of miles on the car in the first two years and then slow down. Clearly switching to a more cost efficient car with the gas crunch of the early 70s.
Thanks

They look pretty close to falling off. If you get them all the way off without damage I bet you could get them moist and press them flat (maybe sandwiched in tin foil). After flattened, spray adhesive on the backs before reapplying.

If they’re still stuck on in places, heat will sometimes be enough to soften the old adhesive.

I'm going to go way out on a limb, can you have reproductions' made ?, take good pix and get a shop to make them?, sure it might cost, but you get a vinyl sticker that will last, just a thought

I bet you can. That’s what I was thinking.

They are very delicate, you can see where part of it has already ripped where I tried to remove it. I need to find a donor sticker to do some testing. I’m thinking that I could tape it off and spray it with a mat clear to help preserve and strengthen the paper??
Thanks for the suggestion!

That would definitely be the way to go with a full restoration, but I’m trying not to take anything off this car and keep it as original as possible so preserving the existing sticker is what I’m trying to come up with.
Thanks for the suggestion!

I would not put any tape on those, when you peel it off it will likely take chunks off. I would leave em be and work around them. I think the door looks great as is!

Yes agree, I would tape around them so not get the mat clear over spray on the green paint. I still need to test the mat clear on the paper.
Thanks
