Black headlining done.

[tommi]

Been wanting to do this for a few years now since I seen my brothers astra with it. I thought it would suit the escort.



I already had the largest bit cleaned off before I decided to take a few pics more now of the progress,



covered with black velour type material my wife got for me in a fabric it has a stretch with it so it covers without looking pulled it looks the bizz I think.






all the plastics I painted with a vynil spray which is ok'ish not as happy with it but at least it wont crack.

look nice what sort of money did it cost you if you dont mind me asking

[Tore_TJ]

Looks great! I've been thinking about doing mine as well.

[Mike Rainbird]

Looks good, not sure if I would have done the acryllic paint, as surely this will flake off with sweaty hand syndrome?

What's the crack with having to wind it by hand - I thought all Escort Cosworths were electric operation?

Thought they all were electric as well but didn't want to seem like I don't know anything about the cars

[richyx]

did you use the correct high temp glue as this makes a big difference when summer comes lol

looks good though, ill be doing my escort when the time comes, already done my sierra

Spot on mate

[tommi]

It has cost me about €60 the paint wont crack as it is liquid vynil and always remains soft and flexible as for the sunroof I forgot to pay the electric bill so I got cut off earlier one's did'nt all have electric roof's or did they but what does it matter maybe to bean counters. For the glue that's one I never thought of I suppose I will have to wait and see if it sags like an auld one's titties I will get the heatproof stuff you recommended, the adhesive I used I got from a furniture upholester and it is heavy duty stuff REXMORE HOUSE spray adhesive and the black paint was RUST-OLEUM direct to vynil flexible coating.

where did you get the cloth from

[jimcallear]

i want to do this to mine

[richyx]

its a hight temp glue you need for roof lining, as in summer the roof is one of the hottest fif not hottest panel on the car, so glue starts to melt

[tommi]

A fabric shop in Derry Northern Ireland but im sure you could get it in most good fabric shops.
