These are some pics of Mike's head lining and rear window surround cloth going in...... this job is very time consuming as there were no fixing hooks to finish to.....had to glue down and will be finished with curtain track to hide the joins...hope you like.

 

This is from the rear looking forward......as you can see a lot of gluing and re adjustment going on.....

 

looks like snow in the pics....it was out side the workshop...IN CORNWALL....but this was some dust settling from the bodywork going on....o what fun.....

 

A mean looking photo...paint on and ready to go...with the lining.

 

This is the top laid out on my table .with windows and curtains all still in place.

 

The top open slightly so i can get a feel for how to tackle this job.

 

A closer look at the lower edge, this showing a plain green strip which hides the lower frame when closed...will be a neat job when done....

 

All of....the canvas removed ready for the body shop to strip back further ready for some paint...

keep looking for more updates...by by for now....Colin
