Bit more work done today.

After a light sand i think I'll call it done.

Can finally see the end of the tunnel.

Been a bit slack on the updates.... have been making sone slight progress

Got some colour on the repaired areas. They really need some more filler work however as they are, they kinda match the rest of the car. Ill blend then in a bit more later.

The headlining had come apart at the seams. Pretty sure mice had got to the thread. Looked at a replacement from the uk as they are actually available, however replacement would mean removing the rear windows. Unfortunately, the seals are hard and brittle and no longer available. So I hung it down as much as I could and sewed it with a needle and thread. Not a fun job, however its much better now and in one piece.

Got some new tyres for the sedan, so put them on the wagon ready for the roadworthy.

Currently making one bonnet from three then its time to put it all together again and cross my fingers.

now you can say the car has a custom, hand stiched headliner!
Might need a windscreen in there too.
 
Our fingers are crossed for you.
