I just picked up a new headliner for my ute. I got it from C & G autos, it looks to be good quality and at a cheap price as well. |

Only problem is i have no idea how to install it, has the metal ribs btw and its a HJ kingswood. Joel you put yours in the qee, do you have any advice? Stretch, stretch, and stretch it again. Then start at the front, Glue the edge and tuck it into the hooks where the front windsheild sits then glue the side edges, Tuck them over the seam and put your pince welds on. And keep repeating on the other edges. I'd recommend having a mate there to help and removing the front windsheild helps a funk load too. |

I know the feeling! haha I heard about the new wheels for the 911 though - mighty jealous! Got a pic of it now? Looking for wheels for the Camaro at the moment... seems to be a minimum of $4k for a set... ugghhhh ![]() yeah i ordered fiskes. they were reasonable value for custom spec'd lightweight race wheels except the cunts at DB schenker decied to whack $900 in handling fees on top of the shipping price.. absolute funkwits. so yeah, $2400 wheels ended up closer to $3700 inc. exchange rate at the time.. will just get UPS delivered to my door next time. cars looks like this now. ![]() the wheels i got, FM10's i think they are called? ![]() |

Rust has been cut and plated in the XB - some rare spares bits where it was really bad, rest of it just old falcon panel steel hammered to shape etc. |

Up to the paint stage on mine too. Really just have the paint, new wheels, brake booster (going for one hooked up to the power steering pump so I don't have to worry about vacuum) and exhaust to worry about, then I should be able to bolt all the trim etc on and get it on the road. |

Will be glad to never do bodywork again - have finished all the rust repairs and a fair way through the sanding, so hopefully onto actually doing the paint soon. |

Its one car after another for me at the moment. XB, then Val, while doing the EB, and i want to tidy up my daily too. Im constantly covered in dust. that first pic you posted - was about to say it looks like a production line, all qeued up haha |

Would you really have it any other way though, Rob? ![]() Hmm not really i guess. Last couple of times I simply handed my car to 'professionals' i received a sub standard service - thats why im trying to just do it all myself. So no i wouldnt have it any other way - its a sh!t load of work, takes a lot of time, and yeah it is cheaper doing it yourself but its a lot to try and learn and figure out. Ive probably painted 5 or 6 cars from start to finish so im getting pretty good at it if i take my time and stay focussed - pay attention to all the little details etc. that first pic you posted - was about to say it looks like a production line, all qeued up haha It is a production line, man. 1) Valiant - finish prepping body, then paint. 2) XB - finish prepping body, then paint. 3) EB - finish fibreglass repairs on bodykit, prep then paint 4) XG daily - repair some panel damage, prep then paint. THEN its onto the mechanical side of things, and sorting out interiors. But i really want to get the paintwork out of the way first - ive moved house and dont have the vehicle storage that i used to. Hence the production line. I need a 6 bay shed. |

What does everyone on here think of new model interiors in older cars? I have BA XR6 seats in my XB and Maserati seats in my Camaro, haha, but I don't really care about originality etc when it comes to interior. I don't think either of them look out of place personally and not too worried about what others think. Best pic I have of both at the moment... ![]() |

But the prices im getting quoted I can get New leather seats for less, and they probs be a lot more comfy haha Do you just have the original seat in the back of your XB? |

Yeah, just black leather with the middle fold down armrest for the back. Didn't look out of place with the black leather Maserati seats in it and the plan was to get the leather covers for the XR6 seats, just never got around to it. I did have original XB bucket seats at one point - the XR6 seats are ridiculously more comfortable, haha. |

XB bucket seats are getting bloody hard to find in useable condition these days. Everything seems to be in bloody Victoria. |
