    Hey all classic car loving folks !!

    This is my first post so please stay with me here.

    I have recentley bought myself a 1973 vw beetle 1300, now the body is in fine condition, not perfect one or two rust spots. It's the interior that im seeking help with ???

    I have seen a few in mags that have modern interiors in them but i like to stick to something more trad ! Does anyone have any idea as to the cost & where i could go ( willing to travel ) and any suggestions or pics towards design, If anyone has restored one themselves and would fancy a nixer please let me know !

    All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated !

    Thanks in advance .

    :confused::confused::confused:

    TMI interiors are pretty good, http://www.vwheritage.com/publicRouter.cfm/loadPage/296/?cftoken=44505267&cfid=2891691 ;)

    although fitting a headliner is best left to a professional - www.emiliosbeetles.com

    i think emilios is the one i was gonna recomend. i know a certain Sgt who has an old red beetle and restored it totaly and i think it was emilios he used and it looks class. Ive seen another one that was done in the same place in the clontarf area and it looked good too.

    How is the headliner? If it's in good cond. just give it a good clean,
    and tackle the door panels and seat covers yourself, no labour costs ;)
