Recommendation for a SA based Upholsterer
I like the look of the TMI kits, and Im happy to order them in, but I dont think I could do a professional job installing them. I want to redo the
seats, roof and panels in a 1971 superbug. Anyone have someone to recommend? I contacted a guy who said if I purchased the materials its would cost me
$1.2k max, but he didnt seem very professional. Im in the NE, I'm not looking to penny pinch, but would hate to spend $1k in materials and have it
look like a $2 job.

Are you close enough to get the car over Melbourne way for a good job? There is a few very good Vw specialist trimmers over that way.

Thanks so much for all your advice. I'll try Allan first, he's a bit closer. Would you guys mind giving me an estimate on how much I should expect
to pay if I supply the TMI seats, panels, roof liner and clips?

I just spoke to Allan, what a lovely man! He is all booked out until Feb, but gave me a price guide. I love it when you find someone who is helpful
and offers to help. What a pity, I really wanted the car finished this year. I got the impression he is a craftsman worth waiting for though.

no probs.....here's a few photos of his work! You won't be disappointed!! He is the best that I have come across. Place some pics of your trim when
completed.

Make sure you order the correct TMI seat kits, as their year models are different to ours. For our 71 Beetle which has no headrests, we had to order
1967 TMI seat covers.
