I have also been working on the interior. The heat of the summer is the best time to install a headliner. The fabric is warm and easily stretches to remove wrinkles. So, 100 binder clips and some glue later, the headliner is in.
Love a tight headliner. Its gotta have a near drum head feel when you thump it.
Yes, I went back and trimmed the edges after installation.
After the headliner I wrapped the A and B pillars. The B pillars were tricky. If you go back a bunch of pages you may recall I installed an integral roll bar with B pillar reinforcement. The extra width made the headliner interface quite tricky. I ended up with a slight defect where I cut too deep wrapping around the sharp edge. It's mostly covered with trim vinyl and hardly noticeable - but I know its there.
The A pillar is straightforward. Just remember to mark the height of the holes for your VIN tag. Otherwise, I just stretch and glue along with a rolled inside edge at the top.
Why work on the interior? The reason was that I wanted to start putting glass in the car. Can't do glass install without the headliner and trim first. So... there you go.
Actually, the reason I want glass installed is for the rear window. With the 911R hinges the decklid flips onto the rear window. Without glass it wants to fold into no-mans land and the hinges can't bend into the back seat. Why do I want the decklid installed? Because its taking up space and I have knocked it over 2X and chipped corner paint. It's safer on the car.
The glass had to get ready. Here is all the glass cleaned and ready for... Coatings. That's right I like coatings....
What kind of coatings on the glass you might ask? I decided to get all the glass tinted with clear (90%) UV/IR ceramic film. Anything I can do to block heat in TX is beneficial to my driving comfort. Plus I am setting up for eventual AC system.
Slowly this car is coming together. One section at a time.
