Thanks Jeff

Glass just back from the tinkers, looks great. Got an upholsterer to come in next week and fit the roof lining and the door vinyls. ( I spent some time yesterday getting frustrated )

That is starting to look awesome Welby, I wish the boss would let me do some work on hers, "gotta finish the reno's first", she's beginning to sound like an old banjo (diff).

Looks like 2013 might be "The Year of The Finished Torana".

[Mort]

Yes I'm aiming for a finish this year, finances pending

[fatslr]

Wow it never ceases to amaze me how some of these build threads on these pages just "come together"

Car is looking awsome keep going it's not that hot at the moment lol only another couple of 40+ days to go .

[Mort]

....You've only got 1 & a half days to finish it this year....you better get a hurry on! hehe...

[eyepeeler]

Look'n good Welby.

[boomfunk]

is that the same headlining?.. it looks great!!! .. he did an excellent job of installing it

[A9X]

your not meant to sound surprised !

[boomfunk]

lol i know, but i dont get to see them that often as i rarely fit them only make them.. i fitted a few but been a while,

I like it!!

[A9X]

well i can pass along he said it was well made, unlike most ( his words ) and he was happy to trim some back after it was in.

Downside ( for me ) was he left a little tear where the c pillar meets the parcel shelf. It will not get noticed but it did ruin the whole process.

looks great though

This is now one of my favourite builds hood lining looks good mark cant wait for this car to be finished

cheers gene

[A9X]

Thanks Gene
Try not to disappoint you

[A9X]

Knock off for today.

all door inners and glass installed, door trims on.
original parcel shelf cleaned up, must find some new armrests.

old trim,


new




parcel shelf



and the unfortunate tear

[Uncle Chop Chop]

Is the parcel shelf made out of plywood?

[A9X]

No, it's original card

[boomfunk]

for me personally that tear, what i would have tried is, looks like there was plenty of off cuts, just spray glue an off cut on the underside where the tear is so its not a noticeable

It looks really good with the trims on... must be getting excited now

[ls2lxhatch]

With any luck the back seat will cover the tear. It would be worth doing what boomfunk suggested to stop it travelling any further.
