Title: Roof lining and Door "frames"
Post by: carbore on November 10, 2007, 16:55:54
Hello,

As im still at the planing stage, I was looking for ideas to do a "roof lining" on my truck cab.  Some form of furry fabric as carpet wont take the shape as well.  IS there anything commercially available.

Now the doors.
Does anyone do a "frame kit" where you can put your old ally door skin on it as opposed to buy a new door, sounds silly but my doors have sign writing on thats part of the history of the truck

For the headlining, my brother used some Mini headlining for his 110 (van style). It was black and worked really well, he glued it in place, not sure what with though. A hardtop is slightly different in shape to a truck cab, though shouldn't be that hard to shape.

Hi, Was thinking of adding some sort of over head storage in my truck cab. Not sure if its a good idea though.
With the colder weather coming the added insulation of a roof lining may help. The heater on my TC not as good as in the HT I had previously :(
Another thing to add to my list of jobs :)

There is a guy called something like vrm metals  who sells land rover repair bits.  He usually has bulkghead repair panels etc on ebay.  I bought lengths of defender door frame to replace bit on my rusted door.

There are a few pics here  http://www.landyworld.co.uk/defenderdoor.htm

My door is rock solid now and hopefuly good for years....

You may notice the overlapping corner that I obviously cut off before refitting!     :oops:  :)
