Rock sliders are great for preventing damage by those people who open their car doors carelessly.

• Refitted the A Pillar grab handles. Cut the screws down to proper length and put them back in place, much more secure. I do intend on replacing the screws with something more substantial in the future, they feel very cheap.
• Tested the air mattress in the back for the bed set up, worked well. We have an old memory foam topper to put over the air mattress to make it a bit more comfortable to sleep on.
• The other half is in the middle of sewing some curtains for the bulkhead and the back window to block some light and give privacy. Made from some blankets and sheets from the charity shop, nice and cheap. Working on how to hang and secure them in place, thinking either hung on a wire, or velcroed up.
• Bought some closed cell foam foil backed insulation during the week, started fitting that today. First few bits went up ok, learned a lot so the rest will be easier tomorrow. Looking good so far anyway.
• Bought some supplies, and bits & bobs for the trip (frying pan, camping stove, etc). Pulled some boxes out of the attic to use as storage during the trip.
• Replaced the rear door card with a piece of 6mm MDF. Looks a lot better already, but needs to be painted and secured properly.
• Still haven't fit the drivers side folding step.

• Fit the rest of the insulation.
• Fit the curtains.
• Sort out some form of water storage so we don't have to keep buying bottles all weekend.
• Make a fold down table for the rear door for cooking etc on. Bought the pieces today to make it (½" ply, aluminium sheet to cover, hinges, etc).
• Take her for a few spins before the weekend to make sure all is well.
• Pack boxes and make sure they all fit in somewhere.
• Put the spare tyre back on the bonnet.
• Phone holder on the windscreen for maps.
• Maybe tint the back window before we go, but I don't know if I want to risk breaking the glass getting it out a week before out trip.

Today I fitted a LaSalle headlining into the 90. It was a real PITA to fit. Just as one bit was ok the holes didn’t line up in the back two parts. It would almost have been easier if they hadn’t pre drilled the holes.

In now and looks good i think. Insulated first. It didn’t have one to start so I thought just go for a fully new one. Few plastic clips to replace where they didn’t go in straightaway but I’ve called it a day.

Also put new end stops on bumper which was a few minutes compared to half day with headliner.

These are plastic aren't they?
Britpart now supply plastic head liners I do believe.
Wonder if they are any good?
Anyway, looks like it was worth the effort.

Hi. No they are fibre glass painted in a range of different finishes. After first hour felt like binning it but at £500 thought I had better persevere. Two more hours later.

Benefit is it is waterproof apparently.

Think I would persevere at that price also. Mind you probably cheaper than a 2nd hand genuine one.
