So I decided to shift gears, and try somthing I have never done,..

The headliner,.. was out with my Wife and we stopped at the fabric store,.. Grabbed some batting and headliner-ish fabric. So I started on stripping the old crap off,..



Hosed on the 3M spray glue and attached the batting



Then I did the same with the fabric





It's not perfect but it looks pretty damn good I think for the $20ish dollars I invested in the experiment :)

Haha, I was dragged to the fabric shop with the wifey too  :P. While exploring fabric land, I came across the vinyl with somewhat of a thin foam underday which was perfect for my CRX project. If you ever decide to go vinyl, you can take the roll and heat it in the oven so it's somewhat malualble (about 150 degrees for half an hour). Then spray the base you're installing it on with 3M spray adhesive. Next you can lay the vinyl over the liner and wrap it around the edges. With this method, you avoid awkward looking corners, spots that aren't stuck properly, and tension in the material that will make the adhesive fail over time  ;)

A very simple solution to stiffen you old liner is to go to Canadian Tire and buy a cheap fiberglass patch repair kit and apply to the back of your old headliner.

A few updates,.. decided to pull the box to clean the frame, prep for the new diffs, pull that stupid brake adjuster, ect, ect



Found some welds that made it by the illustrious AMC Quality control dept,...  :fs1:



Nice perocity,...



Found some interesting undercut and basic lack of weld on the frame rails,... so that had to be fixed,..









Tried the Jackson "NITRO" ADF Welding helmet tonight and let me tell you for a value priced bucket ,... it's DAMN NICE!



I am happier with this :)



Noticed an oddity in the frame rails,.. Silver paint,... very odd and a nice colour



Likely the colour I will end up with on this project,..



that's it for tonight I think,.. I am tired and dirty
