Any solution or advice on how to fix it and recommendation on adhesive
would be appreciated and if it can be done in the car without removing
Anybody know anyone who can repair in Adelaide for reasonable price?

You should be able to replace that magna for less than the cost of the roof
lining.

If you can't let me know. The roads in QLD have a lot of abandoned
magnas...

Correct term is *headlining*.

Any reputable *motor trimmer* is much less likely to rip you off if
you sound like you know what you're talking about. :)

Shouldn't cost an arm or a leg... $100 or so ought get you a very
professional looking job. Furthermore, your hands will stay clean and
you won't end up with a stiff neck.

Not around here it isn't.

They wouldn't remove, repair and refit a rooflining for $100 considering the
amount of trim parts that need to be removed to pull the rooflining out, so
what do they do to fix it for $100?

Well, since you own a '70's English car, you clearly know your POS's
better than most and I bow to your superior knowledge of such things
