My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

I did lol

Spray it onto a surface and then use like a bonding spreader or something

[Earl]

Wouldn't contact cement or something of that nature make more sense then?

Worked on cleaning the headliner, sunroof motor cover, and sun roof shuttle last night so I can drop them off at the upholsterer. 

Removing the old foam and adhesive from the sunroof shuttle was an absolute nightmare and I still need to clean it with soap and water to be finished

i vote for the spray stuff.

take a big sheet of cardboard, and cut a hole the size of the area you want to spray. judging based on the photo you posted, something like this would suffice:

Earl you need this.

That is all.

That's a nice piece. If only the m42 style fill end didn't interfere with my euro m3 radiator cover=/

I picked up the headliner bits and drivers seat from the upholsterer yesterday. He did a phenomenal job. Sorry for the potato pictures, I got home late and my phones white balance is garbage lol.

I will attempt to install the headliner today if someone is home to give me a hand. 

Other than that I finally got a set of rear bumper shocks and a passenger window. The window should be going in today and I am just cleaning up the bumper shocks before installing them. 

I've also been working on a little side project for the car that I want to keep under wraps until it is completed. It should be pretty neat once done

Looks very nice, I will need to do my headliner at some point.  It isn't sagging but is dirty grey and has some burn holes from a PO's cigarettes...  Wish they would have just been vaping lol.

[Earl]

lol This headliner was sagging to the point where I had removed it before taking the car off the road years ago. I redid the headliner in my coupe and did not have any fun doing it. I wanted to save myself the headache and just have it done this time=)

[Earl]

Accomplished a handful of things this weekend. 

Picked up some parts:

Friday I got the headliner trimmed and installed:

Saturday I finished getting it fitting correctly and I installed a new gas cap hanger and stop buffer on my gas door:

I then glued down the separating vinyl on the sunroof and threw on the new side covers:

Once dried it holds strong now:

I also finished cleaning my sunroof tracks and threw in the new fabric shuttle rails:

Yesterday I installed my new to me passenger window, replaced the sliders on the drivers window that I neglected when I installed it, and installed the fabric shuttle:

I would have put in the sunroof as well but I couldn't find the white lithium grease to lubricate the tracks first. I will pick some up today and get that done

[jc43089]

Looks good, productive weekend for sure.  The headliner looks great!

[patsbimmer1]

You're getting there!  Keep it up Earl!

[Jdesign]

Yasssss. MORE!!

[Earl]

Got a few things done over the past few days.

I bent the new brake line running to the rear to match the original:

I threw in my coupe battery cable to help with the relocation to the hatch. I couldn't get any good pictures of this but imagine a red cable running under the floor board wire covers, over the back seat, and into the hatch.

I brought a new to me set of bumper shocks back to life and installed them with my refreshed bumper support:

I managed to get my sunroof in as well but I need to play with it more to get the front to sit flush with the roof. For some reason I am having issues with that. The rear sits nice and flush which really confuses me.

[Earl]

Yesterday I threw in my new hood release cable and associated parts. This was super easy with the fender off. 

I also threw the rear bumper on to get an idea of how the rear will look when finished. I was looking around for my bumper trims to throw on as well but couldn't find where I put them.
