Looking good Mark. It's great to see your family getting involved as well.

Thank you. I'm hoping Kacey enjoys it enough to want to build her own mini with me. 🙂

@@markdraper7 that is very true. At least you have plenty of cars to keep Kacey busy if she’s up for helping. On one of your videos I watched I thought I should have offered to assist if ever you need a hand with something as I’m local to you.

Your headlining is looking very good. I know how difficult it can be having done one 3 years ago. Unfortunately I have another one to do in a Mk4 this year but I might get my son on the job as he is a bit more bendy than me!

Well done Mark. The mistake I made was not letting it rest & while it is not too bad, it’s nowhere near as good as your fitting. The Newton video & instruction sheet didn’t say anything about letting it rest! Fortunately, I hadn’t thrown out my bulldog clips when I retired & decommissioned my home office. I needed an awful lot because I didn’t temporarily for the window & door seals.

Thank you Edward! I've done about 5 of them now over the years so have learnt to leave them to stretch overnight at least. Yes, it's surprising how many you actually need. 😂

Brilliant job Mark.. It's all very tricky and time consuming work with headliner and top dash rail plus screen pillars. Of all the inside upholstery jobs I ever did, I though the top dash rail and screen pillars were the best investment in time and cost. It should get a bit less challenging from now 😅.

Thank you Pete. It was poorly done from factory and /or the last resto and bugged me, so i'm glad i put the time in to perfect it. 😎

The roof liner looks good. Nice colour. I also like the fact you've covered down the a-post. Will you be doing the b-post?
@markdraper79 ай бұрын
Thank you. The A-post was done previously so had to do that, but the B-pillar wasn't so i won't do that.🙂
@mk1leg9 ай бұрын
have you removed the felt pad from inside roof as that's what stops them tilting
@markdraper79 ай бұрын
There was only the bitumen pad on the roof, but a bit of juggling got them in place and they stayed where they should be after the lining was left to settle. 🙂

Good job! I wanted to ask you a question, do you know what the valve adjustment is on the mini 850? It's the only thing I have left. Thank you very much for your attention❤

Oh it just magically appears does it! What's going on from 02:00 to 05:30? Honestly, you don't have to watch the video do you. It's not like the video is titled "How to fit a headlining"
@markdraper79 ай бұрын
Sorry Clive, i did say in the video that i didn't film the bits of final fitting so there was less pressure on me to perform. I just wanted to take my time and perfect it. There are old videos on the channel showing how they are fitted if you need help.
