Is a good book but maybe not so much for you if you're looking for a change!

Cheers megalania.
As per the U2U Learner, my upholstery including carpet and headliner were done by an upholsterer. I did do all the f/g work which I think we have discussed once before. Not hard, just time consuming and messy! Takes lots of time if you want to paint it like I did and want a high quality finish....if you carpet or vinyl over the f/g, it is much quicker as you don't have to worry about pin holes and imperfections so much.
IF you can't do the f/g yourself, expect to pay a fair amount from a reputable car audio shop - after I did my kick panels, sub box and amp rack/surround, the car audio shop I bought my gear from estimated it would have cost anywhere from $3-5K for the f/g alone! Hence why it is a good idea to learn how to do it yourself if you can.

yeah thx for you help i got the speaker part done. i was just wondering if anyone did anything with the head lining part.
i think i'm setting myself for a big challenge but it might be worth it.

If you like you can do your headling in my workshop and I'll guide you through it. That's if you want to do it yourself.

There is lots of information on TheSamba.com - take a look through the search function there.
Hope this helps!
I am about to do a bit of the interior work to my old girl, fingers crossed...
