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

                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:

                      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.

                            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=)

                              Accomplished a handful of things this weekend. 

                              Picked up some parts:
                              20170126151448zpsinoa852l.jpg

                              Friday I got the headliner trimmed and installed:

                              20170128132627zpsomfwm5je.jpg

                              Saturday I finished getting it fitting correctly and I installed a new gas cap hanger and stop buffer on my gas door:
                              20170128132543zpsv05wdxvz.jpg
                              20170128133004zpsniswwdwv.jpg

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

                              20170128143252zpsdsf5hipt.jpg

                              Once dried it holds strong now:

                              20170129131524zpsu5cnct8d.jpg

                              I also finished cleaning my sunroof tracks and threw in the new fabric shuttle rails:
                              20170127142944zpsvjjbnlnf.jpg
                              20170128140210zpsyw3qxifh.jpg

                              20170128141309zps2jezlfqk.jpg

                              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:
                              20170129151553zpsr2j4rgdj.jpg
                              20170129152230zpshpdzd8uw.jpg

                              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

                                      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.

                                        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.

                                          #datass what's the new exhaust configuration gonna be? I asssume there isn't enough room to put 90's on the end of the stock muffler like a e39.
