JNells Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Posted April 16, 2014 Was it hard doing the headliner? Where'd you get the fabric from? Headliner wasn't really all that bad to be honest. (Other than my dumbass only buying 1 can of adhesive at first lol) the hardest part is keeping glue and shit off the nice side.. Other than that, if you take your time and wash your hands a shit ton, it's not bad at all. Oh and buy 3-4 cans of adhesive. Lol. I did find that the Loctite "200" adhesive worked better than the 3M 90.. Easier to apply, better coverage, and tacked up quicker. Malibu Build Log

I did find that the Loctite "200" adhesive worked better than the 3M 90.. Easier to apply, better coverage, and tacked up quicker. The reason most poeple use the 3m 90 is it will hold upside down better than than the easier to apply and work stuff. Never used the loctite 200 if in a year it is still holding then it is good stuff and easier to apply is always a plus Learn to live life, not just be alive!

But we'Il see.. I'm crossing my fingers lol. I did find there a "300" as well that's cold/heat proof. But I found that after the fact Malibu Build Log

JNells Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Posted April 17, 2014 A and B pilars wrapped. Going to do me sail panels (where tweeters are) and cover the tweeters in speaker cloth. And I think I created a monster bc my gf is now asking for more stuff to wrap and do lol. And she's good!! She did the panel on far right I did far left... Malibu Build Log

JNells Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Posted April 17, 2014 Got the inserts on the doors wrapped. Test fit pic It's starting to come together. Got the various pieces painted. Center console sanded down (feathered in the seam/crack between bondo/plastic) filled and primed. That will be the last piece I paint. More pics to follow Malibu Build Log

JNells Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Posted April 18, 2014 It will look better once I paint the pod and bottom part of the door panel. Malibu Build Log
