Skip, I am not sure how far you want to go with this... I used leather for those areas and the headliner too. Turned out beautiful!

Paul did you load a "how to" for that? I still need to sort out my GT's total interior refurb so I'm always interested in alternate approaches.

Barry, No I didn't, but it is not really that difficult. I could explain the process if you are interested... I just don't want to invade this person's post.

Sorry Paul but not what we were asking. I for one am interested in how you installed the headliner eg is that stuck directly to the roof or is there something between? Are the cant rails also directly...

Now for the headliner, surrounding rails, etc. I made the choice to use leather because I am building my "dream car" (I have had it since 1982) and want the best I can create in everything during this...

Reread your "I don't know what to use for the piece of rubber that attaches adjacent to the gas pedal." So on LHD there's a rubber cover there rather than carpet/vinyl as I mentioned on my Mk1? So...
