Had the roof lining done in mooncrater material today, very happy with the result...




Nice!  I just might have to use the same dude.

Looking good Drew, did you reserve the fun of installing the roof lining for yourself?? My first repro lining was a disaster- luckily I kept the original and got a local old-school trimmer to remake mine in marine vinyl- dove grey.

If you can find a good old school trimmer like that you gotta post his name and number, most trimmers today arent really much chop with cars this age. Might have to see if we can get a list of recomended trimmers as a sticky.

Yeah I got a trimmer in to do it, didn't really fancy busting out grandmas old singer and having a go at sewing myself. Trimmer was a mobile guy, he turns up in his truck and does it all on site... Duncans trimming (W.A.) 0421203390, highly recommended...
Cheers Drew..........

Lucky bugger, Drew. Townsville is too small to have something as innovative as mobile trimmers. if you have a late model jobbie they will come and glue it back in for you, that's about the level of talent available. Mine took me hour s to fit, only up side was it didn't cost me anything but I'm pretty sure I had a couple of beers after!!

Yeah like most trades these days the old school techniques arent taught anymore, they just arent needed or at least thats what your told. A good trimmer doesnt use glue unless its absolutely neccessary.

I ended up by having a couple of beers looking at his work afterwards Forgot to add, asked about having the c-pillars trimmed, he ended up trimming them as part of the roof lining... offered up the parcel shelf today and it doesn't look too bad.... Still after a decent set of trims but this will do for now...... Drew....

Hi Drew,
If you're looking for decent interior C pillar trims maybe try one of the forum members- I think he is listed as Jimmy D, he has a nice black 4 door RS and lives in Cairns. He tried hunting out some trims for my 2 door but found his were 4 door. I'm pretty sure he said they were in decent nick, this was sometime in the last 12 months. Send him a PM, you never know your luck..
Cheers,
Len

Thanks Len, I'll give him a call......
Got the windscreens in today, big step, its all sealed now and I can really get stuck into the interior. I may even give it its first wash tomorrow. My mates father was a windsreen fitter, when we all got our licences he was bombarded with 'love' jobs doing windows for all the boys. He called us all over one saturday morning and ran a class on how to fit them, haha thanks Frank I did pay attention I allowed a whole morning to do them but it was all done in just over an hour. Parcel shelf went back in along with the wipers and mirror... Carpets and my re-furbished volante wheels arrive next week but for now thats it for another saturday in the garage... Drew....

Looking great Drew!
Just a question what sort of prep work did you do on the underside before painting?
I'm weighing up how to approach mine.

Thanks for the positive feedback Shaul... I used por15 on the underside, that stuff will stick to anything. Prep was a good scrub with soapy water and a bit of degreaser around the trans tunnel. There was a bit of bare metal from the rust repairs, I used underseal tar and textured it with a sponge once it had gone off a bit to match the original underseal... If your underside isn't too bad try a scrub with straight wash and wax, it bought the underside of my Cortina up a treat and still looks good to this day...
Cheers Drew...

Drew, please post a picture of the Volantes once they are painted, as I'd like to see how good a professional paint job makes them look.
