Export shell?????Originally Posted by dangerousdave
Looks like the export shell battery cutout to me yod not anything fancy!
Lovely looking project though, the finish is great so far i wonder what the outside will look like if the underneath and inside is that good!!
My car is build in germany, and all LHD cars from there is like that.......
The outside is ok, I think

stunning mate
This car is simply stunning and finish is just outstanding , you could use a heat gun on low heat to help stretch the headlining into place but its a two man job
Stunning....just stunning...
What a great colour combo and top quality work...you should be real proud...
Well Done,
Russ.
spot on looks really nice mate
Very, very nice looking car there.Keep up the good work and keep on posting pictures.
Looking really really good
I decided to glue the headliner to the steel in my MGB. It's backed with a thin layer of foam - approx 2-3mm and some sounddeadening material. Not original, but a lot easier to do.
Do you mind me asking what you paid for the paintjob?

Any idea where it`s smart to start? Maybe in the middle any work my way to the sides?

That is an solution I have considered, but I`m not sure if it will be nice over the backwindow and backwards. So I decided to do it original, but we will see if that will be niceLooking really really good

There is a good guide on how to fit the head lining on this web page, under 'fitting up tips'

And other junk I don't like to talk about!
What a beautiful car!
Yes start by the doors and work each side evenly so it pulls a cross the roof, and it will tighten up it may take some time, you can get the small pinch clips that hold the headlining to the window and door edges where both skins meet
There should be a warning on this post!
Think i done a sex wee!
stunning
