And a beetle is easy?
I am a body man by trade and they look difficult even to me!
Has anyone done one by themselves? 
How did you go?

I watched mine get installed (microbus), it looked easy to me.............
Then it always does when done by some one experienced 
I'd definitely practice on an old bus, or old liner a few times before tackeling myself.

OK.. So what about a competent trimmer in SYD?.. I have used one in Botany before but hurt my wallet big time.. Job wasn't that good either..
This was for new seats and panels in a microbus

Cruisin Car Carpets in Minto is a good option, they have my beetle at the moment and a number of members of Flat 4 use him.
(02) 9820 4400 and ask for Brett.
It may be a little way from your place but he is highly recommended.
Good Luck
Bill
