Luckily my friend who's a mobile mechanic and does a little bit of everything at his work was able to help me rebuild my headliner in my 86 Reliant wagon. It took 2-3 hours with a trip to the store for some headliner fabric that's close enough to work. We reinforced the broken up pieces with sticky duct tape. Then we cleaned the board good of loose foam and sprayed headliner glue on the fabric and headliner board. The hardest part was getting it back in. It took about an hour with the both of us to get it in and all the panels back in. It turned out pretty decent for. It cost $12 for some red fabric, $30 for the glue, $4 for the duct tape, $1 for a pair of fabric shears. So 3 hours and close to $50 I've got a pretty nice looking headliner back in and it looks good. I just hope it holds up to sitting outside. Now I just need to replace the dash speakers, fix the tailpipe, wait on my passenger side mirror, and get it repainted and it will be about as perfect as it can get for what it is. I'm trying to get it to the Mopar night this October at Summit.
