    Fitting New Convertible Hood BRISBANE

    Hey guys,

    I have just returned with a new hood from the UK, bought for a fraction of the cost and a new headliner too (Thanks Velly).

    Does anybody know someone who can fit this properly for me?

    Ideally based in Brisbane and someone who could do it for Cash, Beer or Cash & Beer!

    I have spoken to a couple of Vehicle trimmers but they want big money to do it.

    If anyone needs the contact details of the UK supplier then let me know. They ship worldwide apparently.

    Look forward to hearing back..

    Cheers

    Hi Mark,

    I'll grab you contact details later....It cost me 120 quid English (approx $240) for the new hood, the new headliner cost 50 quid (approx $100) including wires but they won't ship or take credit card payments as far as I know.

    Cheers

    Hi all,

    Have sourced a local company to fit my new hood that was purchased in the UK from B.A.S International. Fingers crossed, being fitted this tues!

    I'll definitely get some pics up here once done. Please don't expect it to look like some of the 'hot' cars on here...I am trying to keep this car as original as it came off the factory line....
