got some material from the fabric shop, made sure it was a little bit stretchy, used spray adhesive and sprayed half of the door panel with it, then slowly stuck it down into the curves, and stretched it round all the little curves, so it wasant creased

both back panels done, will do the front ones now, pics up tomorrow maybe

When i done mine i found it was the opposite way, rears harder than fronts as the bit that goes behind the seat was a very hard shape to fit

whast the longevity of doing it like this, does it peel away after a while or does it stay once its stuck on?

looks very good mate
well done

tip for future, if you peel off the old materiel give it a quick sand down
then hoover it and give it a once over with a stiff brush
do this in a warn enviroment

then get the strecky materiel as above, then do a big flat bitlet it dry and then move onto the curves and do it in stages after every curve letting it dry as you go,

well that didint last long! its started coming off, what glue did you use adam?

Post by **PaulW** » Tue May 17, 2005 1:10 pm

My solution to re-trimming the interior is much simpler & better

but still, results look good, just need to get it to stick!!!

But Adam\'s tip is good, if you stick it to the bare-surface & not just the fabric, its gona be a better bond!
