Anyone had an early 2 piece head lining recovered lately. I have had a couple of quotes around the $450 mark, I suspect there would be a few hours labour involved, plus material,
Any thoughts, anyone you can recommend in Sydney (northern suburbs)

I did my own using a Newton Commercial kit. It took ages and I still ended up with a few gathers.

Yes, hairdryer and Qld sunshine and a thousand bulldog clips. It was a juggle to keep the seams straight and minimise gathers. No criticism of the Newton kit, all operator error.
