Mr.Mk1 Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 That’s a bad photo of a good headlining. lewis at tinwald canvas & upholstery had a pattern from a previous job so knocked it out for me. Standard as black, with all pillar pieces included 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr.Mk1 Posted August 13, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2020 Still enjoying trouble free daily motoring. finally did the shock bushes commented on the last warrant sheet. they look like they were cut on angles in the dark with a hacksaw! bit ashamed I didn’t notice when I did the diff swap. Or did i conveniently note it and forget? 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr.Mk1 Posted October 29, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2020 Had been planning to use labour weekend to get amongst this again. needs: - fix cracked bog in C pillar - Fit new headlining - fit stainless trim to screen rubbers and finally seal them in. - inspect rust bubbles in lower A pillar jambs and rear wheel arch - paint jambs and inside boot lid Can see where I buzzed back the bog on pillar. Begrudgingly Went and got a tin of newtech to use as lead replacement. I hate the shit but it’s the norm. trigger contact spring In welder hand-piece snapped and went a bit ugly haywire Hoped I could just wire wheel it and rust kill. Nope then etched, bogged and primed. Started to mask it up. 26 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mr.Mk1 Posted November 5, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2020 Done! went pretty well in all. Got it smooth enough to not want to bother cutting and polishing. again, it looks exactly the same as before so these pics are just to show it happened, lol. got the stainless trims into the rubbers too, The front bottom piece was a total cunt, had to get the mrs to help.. Longest of them all and curved each end so it kept trying to pop out when it came under tension. And the force needed to push it in was more than needed to fold it in half in an instant so it was a nail biter. Simpson gave me an original boot mat, one side is yuck but overall tidy. I recently ditched the MDF sheet I was using because it rattled so it’s a welcome addition. Pining to fit the new headlining and goo in the screens 25 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr.Mk1 Posted November 19, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2020 Last weekend it went back together and it’s good to be back dailying. The roof lining took so long + all my patience, doing a part then glueing clamping and leaving it.. Sealing the screens in was pretty frustrating, rubbers went a bit wonky in places/inconsistent shape/mess etc. headlining in, different drivers seat with way less tears (matching passengers is coming) 25 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
