      My buddy works at a bodyshop with my uncle and theres a lot of scrap parts of cars. The roof is from a newer saturn and the sides are from GM pickup. However, the hatch we had to find something that was the right size. So we went to the local junkyard and took it off of a old school Toyota hatch back.

          I like the out-the-box thinking. I just bought a softtop and it came with a headliner I never saw that done before. It looked a little weird on a soft-top so I removed it. If you want it, let me know, it should fit since your using a soft top frame.

            I was going to spray the inside of the top all black.

                Sorry, to get OT, but here is the only pic of it installed. There are straps sewn on the underside of the headliner that attached to the softop cross bars with adhesive and velcro. The fit is good on the ceiling, but not so much where it attaches to the rear pillars because that area isn't flat. I think it fit better on the homegrown hardtop since it wont need to fold.

                            Paint it most likely.

                                Still needs a lot of work. Need to level out some parts and sand down a lot.
