Because of the heat I would go with the taupe color back. It would make the interior brighter as well as cooler. The headliner failed not because of bad glue but rather the intermediate foam layer degraded and the glue no longer had anything to stick to. Be sure to scrutinize your sunroof drain hoses as this would be the best time for replacing them due to drying out and cracking in the future. Seen too many people make this mistake over the years with restorations. You remind me of me at your age. At 62 still have my day job working on cars even though I don't have to anymore.

@@RestoreIt I also vote for the lighter shade. I did a black headliner in my teens and it was unbearably hot. I live in Florida and there's a reason it's called the sunshine state. But even from a ascetic perspective the lighter color will make it feel more open. The dark makes it feel smaller somehow. At least to me anyways.

Glad you're back Steve! For color, I would definitely stay original. Black would make for a very dark look to the interior as well as likely trap more heat. Seems like the original gray was a shade or two lighter underneath the grab handle mounts. Suppose that could be due to dirt, time and sun.

This may sound strange but watching your videos are like therapy for me, they reduce my stress levels considerably. I suffer a bit from OCD so watching you work really helps with that. I especially love the videos of you restoring cars. Have you ever seen a KZfaq channel called ‘Cortina City’? If you enjoy car restorations then I highly recommend it. Anyway thanks for all you do in making these videos, they make me (and I’m sure many others) very happy! All the best Howard.

Since you're that far in, be sure that you take the time to clean your sunroof drain channels - there's a few ways to do it but typically the "nicest" way is to use thin plastic tubing attached to a vacuum to suck as you feed it down the drain, as you don't want to push the junk all to one place only to find a blockage you can't remove.

Glad you are back on a single project and hoping to see this taken to the finished state. I loved the workshop series too, lot to learn from it, but admittedly already mostly outside of a hobbyist budget, but quite the dream stuff ;) This car does look a decent foundation. Eventhough the engine and trans was swapped (still reversible) staying with the original headliner material will likely bring you more cash. Initially I though you’ll use this the move stuff around and that’s why the priority was upped, but if you are not keeping it, original is the way to go.
@RestoreIt 3 ай бұрын
Thanks, Devision. This one is getting finished ASAP. It certainly won't be as in-depth as the Sport, but as soon as it's good enough for sale, it can go and the main project will continue until completion. Which has been the main priority for way too long now. I may put its original engine back in, this is an interesting idea. It has undergone a complete nut and bolt restoration and overhaul. So would go well with the engine bay. I did use this car for exactly that before I moved to Spain and not long after moving there, I bought a Spanish car due to being pulled over so many times(being in a UK-plated car). Thanks again!

Just made the decision to go black on my headliner for my SAAB 900 resto. My headliner material is paperboard and unfortunately it cracked due to stress at the skinny bits when removing. I went with black specifically to better hide the fixes I made as, although the fixes are pretty decent, they may be seen with a lighter material. I have biege trim (handles, sun shades, and sunroof trim) similar to you have and I will admit, I'm anxious to see the final result. I'm just finishing up final body work and paint, and haven't re-installed anything just yet. I have a feeling that the black will make the cabin of my SAAB feel smaller, but hopefully more cozy. We'll see...

I’d say stick to the original colour, yes i like the idea of black, but having followed you for what seems like years now, and knowing your attention to detail, i think you wouldn’t be able to leave it at that, and sun visors and other bits of trim would have to be changed as well. Given that you’re going to sell, i would do the minimum amount of required jobs, but with your usual best work. Just my thoughts. Steve

Regarding headliner color, from experience, change it and the sun visors to black and preferably the A-pillar. Create a 'black perifephery" in front of you. When the sun glares and you put the visor down the positive effect is maximized as opposed to light color interior. Cheers🤙🏻

Classic case of someone putting the blinker fluid in the wrong spot. 😂 Why they chose the wing mirror is beyond me.

Haha, these amateurs aye... But seriously... This one really took me a second to process😂

Stay with the OG colour. In the long run classic cars that are still factory are worth more/more sought after.

Black headliner

I have black headliner in my E30. I think it makes the car look so much newer if that’s what you’re going for.

On a BMW allways black roof liner. That is almost like a natural law.
