Hi, having recently bought a 1976 Rover 3500 SD1, I need to reglue the saggy head lining. I have removed the whole panel and have it indoors in the warm, it has been recommended to me that the best glue is a spray on carpet adhesive, before I try that, has anyone tried doing this job?

I haven't tried this yet, although I need to on one of my Vitesses.

There are two yahoo groups for the SD1 - someone there might have some recommendations if you get no joy here:

I read somewhere you had to use new cloth, though.

I'd like to know how you get on as mine needs doing too.

I've been looking through the old Practical Classics articles on the P reg restoration from 2001, but I haven't found the mag where they do the roof lining yet!

I received the catalogue from Rimmer Bros for the SD1, great book but very expensive prices! where is the best place for parts?

It's still worth trying your local motor factors for bits - after all they were a common car. I got an ignition amplifier for about half the Rimmer Bros price from mine.

That's because the SD1 restoration was never finished...

Even PC has its share of unfinished projects!

Yeah, what on earth happened to that? It went into the paintshop and never returned!!!
