Well fellas, after almost three years of collecting parts, I finally have finished with my hardtop. After I got it back from the paint, I've spent nearly two weeks working at night installing the trim, headliner, weatherstripping and glass....and lets not forget to mention adjusting the windows... which took three days to get "sorta ok".
The headliner is actually fabric (as opposed to the vinylish stuff that was originally installed) sourced from John Skinner in the UK, its the same stuff that they use for Jag headliners. I think it was a bit more difficult getting it to look good, but it looks amazing in person.
Since the window channels on each side of the hardtop had a rust on them, I had the body shop cut out all the cancer and weld in new metal, for all practical purposes, its a new hardtop... although the metal work blew any semblance of a budget I might have had.
All in all, I think it turned out pretty good:
