This would be the most challenging parts of the rebuild! I never did this before, but it turned out great! So happy with the result.

To get the position right, I mounted the frame and positioned the headliner

Glueing the front part first gives a good basis to work from

Frame all glued in position and corners cut

Drawing the shape of the frame on a pieces of paper and cut 4 wider (so no glue visible when ready. I used this as a template to apply glue.

This is the tricky part as you can't see exactly what you are doing! Gluing on the seperate piece.

Great Job, hope mine will fit as good,
Could you provide details on the foam used ( or was this received together with the liner ).
I am also interested where you bought the liner.
Thanks in advance,
Greats from Belgium 🙂
PS: Great website
Hi Michael,
The black foam is this: https://www.akoestiekwinkel.nl/acusticab-akoestische-platen
The other foam I bought at a local re-upholstry shop.
I can’t really remember where I bought the liner. I will check my receipts for that.
Regards,
Roel
Hey Roel, thanks for the input, I decided to remove the liner as it will result in more coherent approach since I am doing a full body off ( feel like it would be pitty not to remove.
Great finish, hope I can get close to your result (planned end 2020 ).
The white foam seems to be fairly thin, will pay visit to a local shop too, I guess.
Will keep you posted.
Regards
hello
can you please share with me the right black foam you have chosen out of the variety options of this link: https://www.akoestiekwinkel.nl/acusticab-akoestische-platen
which one i should use?
Regards
Ram
Hi Ram,
I’m not sure whether I used 19mm or 25mm. I have searched for some remaining foam, but wasn’t able to find it (yet). I still have foam left for my other car, but forgot where I stored it………
I will let you know asap.
Roel
Hi Roel,
What an amazing description of this fantastic job! I am about to start mounting the head liner to my car and your clear explanation will definitely help me with this challenging task. Yours looks great and you should be proud!
Thanks,
Joost
Hi Joost,
Thanks! Good luck with the job. It’s just a matter of going slow and precise. It really isn’t that hard like everyone is making it sound. Well at least that is my opinion 😉
I’m glad I made this page, since I have to do it again someday on my 1750 GTV…… No need to invent the wheel again!
Roel
