Default Auto Trimmers in Melb

Hi, does anyone know a good Auto Trimmer in Melb, or are there any Auto Trimmers on this Forum? What would be a ballpark figure to get 2 front FG door trims modified to suit a BA? By the looks of things, the edge where it meets the B-pillar is too long and needs trimming. An FG dash is fitted to the BA, so the part where trim meets dash shouldn't need modification.

My other alternative would be to keep the BA door trim but modify the front part where it meets the dash. Maybe this would be an easier option..?

Hi, thanks heaps for the reply. What exactly are you getting done for your car? Does the bloke specialise more in fabrics or plastics? From talking a to a few people, this is more of a plastic weld job than an interior trim one. Thanks.

there are some plastic welders around, then there are some vinyl welders too then some who do both

dashboard repair ctr or dashboard doctor should be able to help with the dashboard and door trims

Finecut Vehicle Upholstery in Berwick...his name is John Fedoro (trimma9 on ebay).
John has done lots of leather centre console lids for members on here, also helped me find and posted the B series "Carbon" XR seat fabric to me for my rear seat conversion in the wagon...tried everywhere up here with no success.
Here's a pic of my console lid...



His number is 0408 738 959 and tell him you're an AFF member.
You probably will need to find someone with plastic welding experience for this though...maybe a trimmer can do the recovering after everything else is reshaped.

I had to get a console lid reinforced and recovered, he's also doing my centre seat in my wagon when i get around to it.
Not sure if he does plastic welding, but he may have a contact if not.
