made what flip open?
the sun roof.
why? i wanted it closed for structural integrity. if i wanted it to open, I would have just left it. It still worked.
i placed a hing on the front side of the roof then placed latches on the inside. then you could have put a flag pole in there and hung a real jap flag.

See Lafengas CF pole thread

Like this :headbang:
Headliner:
First i had to remover the rear windo, this was surprisingly easy, as the windshield and rear windows on the bmw are held in with press molding, no glue… It’s about the only thing in the whole car that isn’t glued.
Then I screwed pressboard into the ceiling of the car with short sheet metal screws… in hindsight, probably should have been flatheads, but it’s too late… I had to make a wooden subframe in a few locations, but it’s not like the headliner really adds any strength.
The gap in the front is actually entirely covered by a trim panel, which is convenient.
Next, I cut foam to fit on my new headliner, and affixed it with spray adhesive… It’s definitely NEVER coming off…
Tomorrow I hope to get the fabric laid out. Also, does anyone know a good dye that could be used to dye my rear deck black? It’s carpeted.
Thanks.
All buttoned up in case she has to go in the snow…
Thats great! I hope the floor comes together as nicely as the headliner did.
