  • Lining and capeting my 2007 T5 CAIRNS area

    G'day everyone.
    Does any one know of a decent Upholsterer in the Nth QLD region (Around Cairns) who can do a good job of lining my 2007 LWB van in quality carpet and plywood?

    Thanks for any advice.

    As I used to earn a living as a motor trimmer I would suggest you contact local motor body trimmers in Cairns , you see Upholsterers maily do furniture whilst trimmers are mainly inlolved in cars and boats.

      Thanks Sunny. That's what I meant.
      A recommended Trimmer in Cairns is what I'm after.

      Best wishes mate.

            It might be worth to give volks centre a call and see if they recommend somebody?

              Thanks for the effort and info Sunny and recommendation Gecko.
              I'm actually in Afghanistan at present with the Airforce (hence the slow reply) so I'll try to call the companies recommended and explain what I'm after by phone, or send some e-mail photos of others vans, as how I want mine to look.
              My wife and the van are just Nth of Innisfail, so if they say they want the job, I'll get her to deliver the van. (Although getting home will be an issue as it's 70kms).
              Thanks again fellas for the great assistance and best wishes.

                  I guess if you wife was keen to drive to Brissi, then you had the choice of heaps of converter workshops.

                  I will do the same to mine T4 fairly soon: floor, walls ceiling, sound+heat insulation....but DIY

                  Good luck over there, stay out of trouble!

                    G'day Sunny.
                    Kind of but not as loud!
                    I fly home on leave for 10 days very soon so will contact the recommended motor trimmers.
                    I'll let the group know how I went.

                    Best wishes all.
