Just read through the thread and im loving the attention to detail. Only thing im not to keen on is the red bits not sure it really goes with the blue but each to their own good luck with the rest of the build mate

i thought 40 pegs would be enough, but i was wrong. had to do small sections at a time to get it to fit nicely.

i still have the front windscreen section to do and the rear tailgate bit to do.
i had to get my tailgate fitted as it needed adjusting on the hinges, as you know there under the headlining, hence i had to get it fitted before i finish the h.lining.

its still bent on the one corner, damn couriers.

gave up on the headling to ponder on with something else.
painted my eye bolts for my harnesses and fitted them

thanks for looking

Good work again dude! Rather you than me on that headlining tho! lol
it does look daunting, but it really isnt. aslong as your patient and stretch it to take out the creases then its an easy job. :)
Well done dude, I'm really liking this, should end up a really nice car.

That headlining looks like the one I made for my one. Eventually the fabric faded due to sunlight.
what did you make yours out of?
AFAIK its been fitted to 2 peoples cars already and is still in great condtion.
It was Faux Suede mate, got it from a fabrics factory they said it was suitable for that sort of application but after about 4 years of seeing the sun (mainly the rear C pillar and around teh opening of the boot) it faded.
This time I'm going for a Alcantara done professionally.
