Some really good work there, can i ask what is the benifits of the t25 hatch?

its about twice as deep and alot wider than the late hatch so you can really cut it to the size you want.

gary does the new headliner come with the covering from roof to the cards round the inside of the frames? if not are you replacing that at all?

just wondering as i want to do mine one day and my covering is pretty shot, i dont know if its available or you just have to get lengths of material and fit yourself?
