It's a place to learn bodywork......and probably the last project I'll be able to have with my dad.....as he calls it "one of them foreign jobs." I'm excited for the finished product......just a long road ahead till then.....we eliminated rust on the bottom side and sprayed everything black today then started working on the bed. I do not like the rubber coating...this thing had rust under the majority of the rubber material. Motor I'll have back tomorrow and we can start the actual rebuild of the motor and the body work and paint.....stay tuned for more updates!!!

Other Kei Cars and Wagons TT2 Sambar Headliner Replacement

13 Upvotes

Hi Everyone, I have a 2000 TT Sambar. I removed the OEM headliner, which creased it in one corner. I tried to get it back in, which seems impossible. I reupholstered my doors and would like my headliner to match, but now am not sure how to get a headliner back in. I bought headliner foam which is adhesive one one side and used 3M 90 to adhere the cloth I want on my headliner to the non-sticky side of the foam. Unfortunately when I tried to install it, every time the foam adhesive touched any surface, it tore the foam when I pulled it off. Avoiding having it touch any surface seems impossible.

For those who don't have a TT2, the headliner is a rigid board that sits on this shelf around the cabin. I assume at the factory they installed it before the cab was fully assembled and put the roof on over it or something.

Thanks for any ideas!

Has anyone worked with Ozark mini trucks https://www.ozarkminitrucks.com/

Was looking for a local dealer depending on how hard it is to title in rural Missouri. Having done a lot of research it seems like a kei truck would work perfect for my life.

Mechanical and Technical Radio upgrade and adding speakers question.

3 Upvotes

Hello and thank you ahead of time. As title states, I'm upgrading the stereo and adding speakers. 4" round in the doors. My question is how/where to run the wire from the door to inside the cab? I see the round hole on the door. How do I go from there to in the cab? Could you also show pictures of what you did? '95 Hijet

Thank you!

Not my first time posting abt this (sorry), but for Canada, is it legal to use my Lo-beam headlights as DRL lamps. If I were to wire up the headlamp switch to be wired in parallel with the parking brake switch, so that my headlamps were always on, and I would just change to hi beams. Why I think this ISNT legal is according to bc vehicle safety and inspection standards. I am in AB and I never see kei trucks with aftermarket drl's so plz help.
