classic car headlining

Jensen 541R headlining fitted

The roof bars have now been removed to make way for the new foam to be glued and fitted. The bars, covered in the correct material are then screwed back into position. The headlining is then positioned and carefully glued around the edges before being tightened and secured. Finally, access is gained in the new material for the interior light wiring.

Headlining panels for the Aston.

Lydia has been re-covering the headlining panels for the Aston Martin DB 2/4 Mark I.

She started by peeling off the original fabric from each of the different panels and sanding down the old glue and giving the wood and metal a clean up.

The original fabric pieces were used as patterns on the new headlining fabric, and Lydia drew around them using a fabric pencil. They were all cut out and then one by one, wrapped around tightly onto the panels and glued into place. These panels will go around the sides, front, back and middle of the headlining in the car.
