Dan,

nice cutting away !! Noticed your bodywork question but didn't understand it till I looked here. Looks like you have sorted it though with some nice cutting. Yea, defo get rid of that horrible bit in the boot. Make sure you have a long enough length to the srch inner you are fitting or you will have nothing to close the boot floor to or the other side. I had to weld extenstions on after putting the arch inner in, not good, so if you need to do it, do it first first.

on the head lining, if you want it black, get some satin black spray paint, does the job nicely

Just some normal halfords satin black and do i need to primer or laquare? ??

just the black on its own, no primer, i use it on dash rails, once its dry polish it up a little, and it works a treat, just make sure you clean the headlining 1st, use a warm damp cloth, just to get any muck off it, then do several light coats of paint until its to the desired colour
