Talking about headlining I’ve placed an order for a reproduction in GRP covered headlining board. There is a company in Kent making those since December last year. Just had a nice chat with them.
The current headlining is sagging and it’s highly likely that when I remove the board it will snap. Considering the time having to spent on papier maché to repair and then trying to get the material cut and stretched nicely and glue, plus then doing the sunroof I think it is money well spent.
Fingers crossed it as good as they say. So better get my skates on and fabricate the speaker holders, change out the dashboard and redo the wiring ready for next week.
PS. Does anyone know where to find the vacuum pump for the central locking in the car? I must be having a blonde moment, I can see the tubing but haven’t been able to trace where it is. I want to double check the working as it seems to be a bit hit and miss. Between the doors and the boot lid.
Remembering stuff as I read this thread more and more.
Sunroof: Check the drain pipes are all clean and free of debris while you are around this area and if none, as I may be thinking about my MkIII, then just check all seals are good to avoid future water damage.
