headlining question
going to make myself a new headlining, as the one fitted is badly damaged around the boot. anyone done it before? what sort of cloth did you use? i've gone off the stuff i bought a few years ago, and i've ordered a few samples online and it all is either too thick or too "cheap" looking
Re: headlining question
Send me your address and I'll send you a sample of the stuff my mum used.

Re: headlining question
Likewise can you let me know where you can get the material from please .as I want to make a headlining too.
I dont mind project cars but I HATE SANDING!!!
Re: headlining question
I'm looking into getting one too and I see a company in the US makes them. They are at stockinteriors.com. They also do an interesting mould for the top of the dashboard which I may require in the future. Apart from the reviews on their website there's not much out there about them. I have emailed them to see if they ship to the UK. Will let you know what they come back with.

Re: headlining question
Depending on how tight your finances are, it is worth reiterating that mk2 headliners are still available from VW (or were last time I had a trawl through their online parts catalogue). They were a bit over €100, which made a lot of sense to me given the time and skill that would be necessary to make it look as good as a factory finish.

Re: headlining question
Noted. But I am determined to have a crack myself - how hard can it be?
Seriously though, I've done upholstery (car and sofa) with reasonable results, and I'm ok with a sewing machine for making curtains and Roman blinds, so its got to be worth a shot. Just need to find the right material
