Hey I remember somebody talking about places in Sydney that do vinyl welding - you know like the original Morris interior seats and door cards. I'm missing a single RH front door card and its pissing me off so gonna have to get one done up. Anyone knows of places that do that?.

There's a place in inner south west sydney called Polyweld.
They will do a complete set of door cards for (better sit down for this) 400 dollars.

He has the machine doovie to make the lines.

When I spoke to him some weeks ago, he said that would be the price, but it would still take 4 to 6 weeks for him to get around to making them.

There was a trim place at Granville (near the railway level crossing) that used to do it, I know where it is/was but can't remember their name. Top end stuff they did, so probably not cheap.
I'd like get some door cards stitched, like Chong did.. gotta twist his arm when I see him... :wink:

Yea called Pollyweld - $400 bux or $100 for a single card. There's another place at Botany which is a closer to me and they quoted me $100 too so I might try them.
