Are you talking the outside piece that goes around the wheel well and fits over the edge of the Kryton flare ?

Some things are getting done on the SX/4.  Since this is going to be a winter car I decided to add a bit of insulation to it.  I found some rolls of ducting insulation, sticky one side, aluminum foil the other.  So far I've done the doors and roof:



I had my headliner recovered some months back.  I was initially thinking of replacing it with a blue similar to the original but the upholstery shop I went to didn't have any headliner material at all similar to the original shade so hubby suggested purple like the carpet.  I looked through the books and found a purple not too far off the shade of the carpet.  Once again there was no purple headliner material so the fabric needed to have some stretch to it and have a foam liner glued to the headliner and then the fabric glued to that.  I decided to leave this one up to the upholstery shop and they did the headliner and also recovered my sun visors in the same material:



After a great deal more of a fight than I was prepared for Ward and I finally got it all installed today.  Here's how it looks now:


As you can see the camera is really playing tricks with the colour, the actual colour is about midway between the shades shown in the two pictures above.

Where did you find the insulation at? Did it affect the fit of the headliner at all? Looks great by the way!

I got it at the local Co-op hardware store in the heating/ductwork section.  Any hardware store should have it.  It didn't affect the fit of the headliner at all.

I might be coming some SX/4 chrome in the next month or so. I'll keep you posted if you haven't already found some.

I have two or three sets off of a wagon, but you said those won't fit?

Anyways, really looking forward to seeing the finished product, maybe you could make it to the Calgary eagle meet at the end of July.

Thanks for keeping me in mind Mechanic, you're correct, the wagon pieces won't fit, they're too short.  I'll see what I can do about getting the Eagle done before the end of July.
