Hi All,

I restoring my '67 bug. I'm jumping ahead of myself and thinking about the interior.

How hard is it to install a hood lining?

Am I better just taking it to someone to do?

If so do you know anyone in the Sydney area who does this?

And a rough idea on price for the lining and fitting?

OR

what other options have other people done instead of a full lining?

Just looking for ideas and tips

Thanks in advance
Kaz

Vinyl headliners can be a pain in the ass to get the wrinkles out of
velour is marginally easier.

If you want an alternative my black beetle had a really thin plush kind of carpet/velour glued to the roof, looked really good,

I'm probably gonna do the same to my current bug soon seeing as Ive manage to rip my headliner in several spots
