Fortunately, it wasn't by "X to the Z: Xzibit."
My headliner was falling down (foam dissentigrates after 13 years. Who knew?), so I took it out and put in some black suede. Here are some pics of the process:
After much finagling and seat moving, I finally got the ceiling out of the car:
Mmmmm... Bare metal and loose hanging wires. I drove it around for a week like this, and by the time I put the ceiling back in, I had gotten used to the sunroof control hanging down. The first time I tried to move the sunroof after I got it put back together, I imagine I looked like an idiot waving my hand around in the air and groping at something that wasn't there.
Got the old material off. This was before I cleaned off the old foam, which took a while. You should see the pool table now. It's going to suck when I get around to cleaning it.
And it's back up. Yay. There is some overspray from the glue on it that I need to clean off. It acts like it's going to come off fairly easily, I just don't know how to clean suede.
I love suede. Some people may think the black/tan combo is tacky, but I think it's hot, and thats all that matters, right?
My dad took some pictures while I was working on gluing the suede to the ceiling. If he emails those out, I'll upload a couple of that process, too. He was also a lot of help gluing the suede to the roof.
My friend washed her car today, so I went over to her house to help and wash mine. And take more pictures of my baby.
