Looks great, is the headliner supposed to be that colour though? Looks a little light compared to the dark interior.

Superb fit though -- looks like it came like that from the factory

Was same colour as originally installed.
I have a 30 meters roll of material imported from Germany.
Don't worry, it will get darker over the next years.

That was my first E31, but much easier than usually on the E32. Even no need to take a seat out. I guess I have to order new material again, probably many E31 drivers also want to have it now done.
Headliner dropping is a big problem in Japan. I did my one 2 years ago, see info on my website with many pics.

So, when are you coming to Sydney for a holiday? "Free" accomodation on my boat! Only two E34s to do.

[shogun]

Sydney, very nice.
But I guess I would just stay on your boat and give you the instructions via cell phone
But it is really not that difficult as it looks.
For the E34 there is also an instruction on my website below.
Most of the time is used to clean the board from the old stuff, as you can see from the pics.

Yes, I've seen the instructions thanks - and will do it myself - have the struts out doing them at the moment though

Some more info. We have a japanese E34 repair page here. No prob that you do not understand Japanese, but very good pics were all the clips are etc.
