I decided to start re-doing the headliner. Water leaks ruined the job I did 6 years ago. I also remember the last time I did it that I might need a new board if I were to ever do it again. The board was in pretty rough shape when I got the material off yesterday.. I spent a good chunk of the day today repairing the cracks and weakened areas with fiberglass. I've never messed with anything other than kitty hair before so this was a new one for me.

All glass was laid from the rear. All cracks got 2 layers. All separated sections got resin in between and were clamped back together. On the material side I applied resin to all the cracks and damaged areas.

All in all the board is now in good shape and after a little more cleanup it'll be ready for new material.
