Intro, Headlining and interior trim
 

Hi All,
I suppose I should introduce myself before asking questions!
My names Leo, and i'm an addict. there i've said it!

On a slightly more serious note, i built an MX5 based Westfield 3 or 4 years ago, and having sold it a while ago i've just about forgotten all the frustrations about building a kit, and fancy building another. Then i stumbled upon the Tribute, and like the idea of a hard top.


Sooo, my question is: what do you all do about covering the inside of the fiberglass roof and or the roll bars?

Also, on another note, what are they like driving in the rain?

Hi Leo,
for the headlining I plan to usr the out side of the roof as a mould, and laminate a few layers of GRP over it. Onces removed it will become a headlining which I will cover with foam backed vinyl . I have filled, faired and sprayed my roll cage. I may wrap them in foam backed vinyl where its near my head.
I may make panels for the quarters too, just time is tight at the mo. I plan to do all the upholstery before gluing the body on.
As to what its like in the rain...I hope its dry and tail happy!!

Hi Leo.

Nick is right with his idea for the headlining, we can do the same for you and supply a lightweight headlining "shell" in GRP that can be upholstered before fitting. I have just sent you an email with some more info and will take some pictures for you on Monday.

Regards Chris

Thanks Chris,
just going through the email now.
