Head lining

Hi, thought people might be interested in this. My head lining was horrendous and beyond repair. I was not willing to buy a replacement as many of them are over a grand. Decided to replace the headlining with EVA foam mats you can source from B & Q, Halford etc. Total cost was £30 plus some spray contact adhesive. Took about a day in total and a vast improvement over the original lining.

Look right good that.

Yup, looks like a factory job!

Be careful picking up Aussie sheila's or old canal boat walkers

Genius...

All you have to do now is glue one inch upholstery foam over the lot followed by some pierced buckskin.

How has it held up so far?
I need to sort out my headliner as the leaky sunroof has made it mouldy all over!!

Only been up a couple of months but it's absolutely fine. Hope yours works out ok.

Great to know !!
Im planning to silent coat, then add 3mm insulation over the top.
Planning to cover the foam insulation with a suede fabric before i stick it in place to give hopefully a nice finish and with the fabric pre applied to the foam... it should hopefully make fitting a lot easier.... just need to plat about with lights than for the interior. maybe LED strips in the channels

That's great that, looks good and tidy.

I think I might have to do my inner rear quarter panels before the trims go back in, would be a decent bit of heat insulation too.

Working on a similar idea, respray of the roof, silent coat, closed cell mat and suede fabric ! Certainly wouldn't pay for my quality but it's good fun and definitely looks better
