I've been making my way around the interior of the Series E-type FHC since it came in, removing what is a remarkable amount of trim, and today crossed off a filthy job, the removal of the headlining and cant rail material. A lot of the trim had not been out of the car since it was built and the headlining clearly went in first of all, the foam between the fabric and the roof had turned to dust, I wonder that will do to my lungs. The beaded cant rail material needed to be pulled out through a gap at the back, definitely the most difficult part of the job if it's stuck to the headlining anywhere and not made any easier if the rubber bead has turned brittle and somewhat inflexible. Anyway, it's out, all I need to do now is work out how to get 56 year old dried glue off the roof panel (and a few other places). The rest of the interior removal has been straightforward, the only issue being where to put it all.
