good job on the guide!

however i tend to get roof linings from the wreckers, alot of them are still in good condition... anything vn to vs will fit (some have more holes than others). these go for ~$100, you just gotta ask!

i just did my headlining this morning. instead of using that beige color though, i went for a grey that matches the door trims, vinyl sprayed the sunvisors in matching grey. it makes the interior look a whole lot better. ill try to get some pics up to show if anyone wants to see it

lol, the funniest thing about this thread being moved to the how-to section is that I never actually intended it to be. I was just being silly and showing off!

I do feel kinda bad because IMO as far as how-to's go it isnt exactly descriptive, so if anyone wants I wrote up a more step-by-step one that I can post if needed.

Please do post pics, be good to see how it looks! You did what I did in choosing grey fabric instead of the original beige, I just havent gotten around to painting the visors yet so it would be good to see how they turned out.

I'm working on doing my headlining and I was curious about where to get the fabric cloth with the foam in Brisbane? Would be nice to have black fabric cloth.

Let me know

i will post some pics tomorrow if i can get the camera to work!! glacious search around for some motor trimmers in brisbane, they should have the headlining material, it cost me around $25 a metre so it isnt cheap. i bought 2metres of the stuff and it was plenty.

Thanks for the tips Tsimira. I thought that job would be a bit out of my league considering i usually stuff things up on the first try.

My head lining started to sag a little bit recently and within a week the whole lot had come down, I had about 50 thumb tacks holding it in place till i could get it fixed properly.
