10Speed Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have been researching fitting the headliner in my bettle, however it's glued into place and the advice I have been given is buy two headliner kits for when I stuff the first on up. I only bought one, and would like a competent pro to do the hard work for me... Anyone have any experience with auto re-trimmers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EURON8 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 The Sheepers suggested one is Bens (westend rotangs) old man. Chickity says He's a top quality shop. You may know him from bike circles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has done work for me in the past and is an GC of the highest order. +1, he does all the work on my Avenger. He repair my seats and recovered my dash for me. He is currently doing me a parcel tray and rear pillar cards. (see my build thread for photos of the stuff he has done on my Avenger) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id second these guys. Did a head liner for a MK 1 Escort I had from stratch. Great job. Also Kelly at Stitches Upholstery is apparently very good.

zep Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Good suggestions here, looking for some one reasonably priced to change the inserts in my race seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana_Jones Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Perfect timing for this thread, I was gonna PM Avenga about his seats lol My driver's seat is pretty naffed, but hopefully it can be saved as getting a replacement in the same colour is gonna be next to impossible.

Avenga Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Sweet, Grant did a great job on my seats. He is pretty good at matching materials. He did one of my friends Avenger Alpine seats. It had this weird thatched vinyl pattern which I thought he would never be able to match, but it found something which was a perfect match and now they look just like they did when they left the factory. Here is a photo. Drivers seat was heavily damaged but repaired by Grant, and the passenger is stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Grant also shares his workshop with a bloke who works on/builds Hot Rods, so there is always something awesome to look at when you go in for a visit. Best part is he is always happy to do a job for someone and no job is too small. He is very reasonably priced too considering how awesome his work is. As with everything, ring around, get some prices, and let us all know how you got on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana_Jones Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Sorry to drag this up, but thought I should show the results I got from using Grant (as mentioned above). Awesome guy to deal with and did a sweet job at a fair price. Before: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
