MK1 Roof Lining

[dubmc]

Need a new roof lining in my mk1 asap, as the car is stripped and need to put windows/boot back on etc.

Been quoted generally about $400 bucks! which is a bit much imo

Anybody know of a place that does cheap roof lining for a MK1 in NSW???...OR has anyone DIY and if so it is hard??

$400 is pretty good dude. It's not easy to make one and neither is installing one! Believe me. I have experience.

Not a bad price for Velour.. If that's for vinyl, pay the man and get it done.

yeah thats what people seem to be saying - all the blokes i rang said its a tricky job (the ones that knew what a mk1 was anyway).

a bloke quoted $180 to make it but then i would have to install, and i dont think id be any good at sowing it on ahah

$400 is for vinyl i believe, thats what i asked for.

If you're willing to drive it down to Fairfield, I can get a guy to do it for you at a more than reasonable price including install.

Also, stay away from vinyl it ignites... badly...

isnt the original vinyl? and the seats too?

The headlining in my mk1 was made by mrs golf loon - so on that basis, you need to find one of your mates who has a mum that is a dab hand with a sewing machine.

Out of interest, how much was the respray?

yeah mate i would be willing to drive to Fairfield, i live in Strathfield so not too far...has he done work for you before??

respray? i bought the car as a shell off a guy who was intending to go all out on it but never got round to it - so it was completely stripped. i did get qoutes of about $1500 when i was thinking about it - jus didn't have the $$$.
