So I dont rep much, its a standard 1.6 engine, black, not lowered, good ride, and not been ragged to sh!te by the people before. I have done alot to it styling wise without it looking like a boy racer mobile.
The other day up the scrappy I happened to lay eyes on some black door cards, originals were grey, but they needed some modification as were automatic windowed and I have manual, I also grabbed some chrome handles off a cabrio. So fitted them and they look the dogs bollocks with chrome lock pulls.
So i started looking at the A, B and C pillars and thought, they are coming off and im going to paint them black to match, done a fair bit of research regarding this, discovered trisodium phosphate (TSP) and all sorts of other info if anyone needs advice.
Then I thought you know what that grey headlining could do with a recovering to match.
Im sh!tting myself but if all turns out good I will post some pics of the finished project (haha finished? whens it finished really? lol)
If I missed a thread like this before someone let me know. Will take some pics tomorrow of the work in progress.

Easiest way is open a photobucket.com account, take your pics, stick them on your desktop, upload them to your photobucket and then copy and paste links to pics in your post. I make it sound more complicated than it is. Try it a couple of times and you'll be fine.
