Motor Trimmer Adelaide?
Just inquiring as to who I can take my VW bug too to have the roof lining re-done, the old one is out and the car is stripped and there is no glass in
the car. I have an empi roof lining kit already.
Some of the quotes I have had to replace it are $500 +.
I think that is un-reasonable considering I have everything already out and ready to go.

That is quite expensive.
Mum's cousin completed a trimming course about a year ago now, I'm seeing her Easter Sunday, so I can see how much she'd do it for if you haven't
found anyone before then.
She'll most likely be doing my trimming too if she has time and what not, I find out everything next Sunday I guess!

Hey man,
She's going to take a look at it once her husband has lent me a hand with pushing the roof out a little.
Tried to sneak a photo of the seats she's doing but couldn't get any.
As for the headlining, I'd go with who Matt is suggesting.
I will need new glass too so I have found out who to go with through this thread which is great

450 or so isn't bad for a headliner, I'd charge around the $300 mark as a tradesman providing all the windows are out and the headliner is supplied,
but i work from home... i have no overheads and i do the work on the side so its not my main income. I certainly wouldn't want to spend my Saturday
mucking around with headliner for any less.... Plus, it's not really as easy as some people think it is... it's by no means rocket science but if
you want it to look good and last, the right tools and supplies are not something everybody has. just my 2c.
Unfortunately you are not in QLD, you would have got a bargain...
Mick.
