Default headlining done!

hi all well the car is done!a nice new headlining from a mk1 v70 its a sort of grey colour but fits perfect,i did have to reglue the front portion along the windscreen edge but evo stick and some of the missus clothes pegs and left overnight to proper dry seems to have done the trick nicely,the original was beige colour but as i got the handles and different colour courtesy lights along with lots of useful plastic trim retainers etc fitted to suit.
i spent a couple of hours gluing myself to various broken plastic mounts and finding certain colour plastics do not bond with superglue but bond to the main trim plastic very well,also found out it is not a good idea to use toilet tissue to wipe up spilt superglue as it starts smoking and gets nearly hot enough to ignite!
so if the car survives my birthday trackday tomorrow at goodwood i shall try remember to get pics in daylight! ps anyone here fancy helping me respray her? i can do 99% of the prep but have no compressor or garage,i could pay a little,cheers all.
