little update
havnt touched the car for a while now, infact it hadnt moved for about a month and half till a couple of days ago
but before i parked it up i fitted a pair of new bottom arms as one of the arms fitted was wrong



then yesterday i gave it a good clean and removed the headlining as it was saggy and held up with drawing pins




and retrimmed

Can u remember what the glue was called. I used some spray glue for glueing carpet tiles to floors. It lasted about 2 months then it sagged again.
