Re: How do you clean an original headliner?

Thanks Randy,
I had first thought that I would make a new headliner and replace the wrecked panels in the upholstery, arm rests and back of front seat.
I had read that the correct materials were being re-made and were available in America.
So I sent off some samples to a couple of people and expected to be able to buy enough of the beige fleck wool that was the seat material.
But no, it wasn't to be, as I was told that 39 super 8's came in a number of fabric's but no one had seen my sample before. It must have only been on export models.
I had trouble finding anything to match as I hunted through fabric shops.
I eventually settled on a piece of wool and patched the top of the front seat. Also new carpet from Hirsch.
more photos, Wow!! I am getting confident with this.
