Hey Adam,

Good thread, I really must get around to doing one for my car. Can you tell me what sizes and offsets your Image wheels are? I'm considering getting a set for my car but really want to be sure I get the right offset to clear the front calipers.

Thanks, Paul.

adam151082

I have no idea what they are m8, Image just said theyd send some out, i have had to trim the kit back though

TCR

No worries Adam, might have to contact Image and see what they recommend.

Thanks anyway.

Well the car might see its first bit of rain tonight as its locked out the garage due to getting a new roof fitted due to it frosting over in the winter.

before



during




hopfully finished tomorrow or wednesday

also getting there with the interior but ill take a photo abit later on.

adam151082

Garage is finished, should stop any more condensation forming in the winter as the old roof was tin.



can get a pic of inside if anyones interested

adam151082

Space at the back once I fit the Kingspan to the roof

Ok so I was getting fed up with my roof lining so I got some more cloth for Ł9:80. Figured it was worth a go for Ł10 insted of Ł200 of lf a proper place

Also if anyone has the 4 gromets for the rear of the headlining id love to buy them off you.

Old one



Heres the old one hanging down


This is where its pealed back off the first time I done it.


This is us doing the new one



Started fitting it but I got hungry so ill put some pics up tomorrow after its had its MOT

Looks quality great work

adam151082

Another update.

Managed to fit most of the roof lining, still need the 4 gromets for the back. Also what do people use to stick the middle bit up just behind the sunroof?




Also managed to get the Kingspan on the new roof


And I renewed the conectors on the rear light as the where pretty much goosed. Only a couple of quid each off ebay. And wrapped abit wring cloth tape rype stuff round the wires to tidy them up. Also done the reg plate lights and renewed the conectors but didnt get any photos of them before or after

Top progress.Can you let me know where you got the head lining cloth from.Im desprate to do mine.

Cool did you just go and have a look round for the fabric you needs.

your headlining looks mint now.

Also what adhesive did you use.

adam151082

I was going to pay Ł200ish to have it done properly but when we went to the craft place for my las I seen the felt with a thin layer of foam on the back (like the original) for Ł10, figured it was worth a go for a tenner. As for the spray glue I got it from Halfords for Ł6ish, its in one of the photos in the red tin with Impact wrote on it.

adam151082

If anyone does the roof lining leave about 2" to overlap on the back as I didnt leave enough the first time I done it, thats why I had to redo it.

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Thanks for the top info there. At least the glue will stick to the foam part of the cloth and not seep through onto the cloth.

looking good

Well today was a bit of little panic as we went strawberry picking in the Sierra, but when we went to leave the clutch pedal was stuck up. But me being really clever and all that i realised the cable had melted with the turbo heat sheild being knackered so I started the car it re-melted and started working again haha

So its now sitting in the garage with the pedal stook again.

I also took delivery of some interior parts. Its really starting to come together now.




Anyone have any spare handles for the boot carpet or the screw for the jack cover in the boot?

adam151082

Ok so ive got another week off work and I couldnt use my car as the turbo heat sheild was knackered so it melted the clutch cable.

I changed the cable and while looking for a new heat sheild ive bodged up the old one haha

This is how it started, I went over Halfords and there fibre glass was only good for 100 degrees soooo



I chopped up a can of coke and cider to use that



All bodged up



I also tryed some foil on the inside





Seems to be working.....itll do till I find another or I might stump up Ł250ish for a copy 3door one.

adam151082

Haha, cheers m8, more people where pointing a the old Ford than the Aston, but the inside of the Aston was just awsome, leather everwhere.

It'll do for a week or two Paul

It was me who messaged you today to see if you had any heat sheilds in.

Use some foil tape on your joins of your kingspan.

Great progress Adam

adam151082

will the tape make a difference?

thanks


I managed to get the centre arm rest. Seems to sit abit close to the drivers seat. Is this normal?

Excuse the poor picture its though the windscreen in a dark



Could be the seat bolster is pushed out a bit.
