Hi @Tuttah Welcome to the forum!
What part of Europe are you in?
If your in the UK I would give these guys a try. https://www.martrim.co.uk/

Ive done 2 VWs around that year. Very easy you wont have mush trouble. Cant remember how it was attached but I remember being very surprised how easy it was to replace.

That's pretty nice mock up you got there. Sometimes this is how I do mine.

Yes that machine will work just fine for this type of upholstery. I also highly recommend downloading my buyers guide and consider the other recommendations in the guide.

Hahaha Welcome to the forum @Roothawg we love old worn out hot rod guys here! I hear the same story from guys like you all the time that are tired of dealing with their upholstery guy. Its unfortunate but it just comes down to it being a dying art and not enough younger people getting in to the trad...

Post pics when you get it finished!

WOW! Those look great! I really like the new look with out the red on the sides. Nice work!

Hey @Pitt_Boss sorry to hear you ran in to trouble here. 1/2" foot clearance is pretty standard. When I make sunvisors with vinyl or leather I dont use any foam. It gets to thick and doesn't look right. Only time I use foam on visors is with headliner material. If you run in to any more trouble post...

Your very welcome @Pontusgillgren We have a really great community here and we all learn from each other to collectively raise our upholstery knowledge. I learn new things from others on this forum all the time. Keep us posted on what you figure out with your machine.

Hi @ed28wood Welcome to the forum! So the trouble I see you running in to is creating something sturdy enough to hold the radio. Those headliners are not sturdy and very light weight. They are only held in by the side trim, dome light and visors. The radio will need to be solid mounted to the roof s...

Yeah sorry... I promise you will learn a ton though! Biting off way more than I can chew is exactly how I learned so much so fast. Lol just be glad its a personal project so it doesn't mater how long it takes

I dont know that much about repairing machines, I typically take them in to get serviced if I have a problem. - First try seeing if the feet will come down by placing a screw driver on the top of the feet and bumping the screw handle downward. We just had someone on The Upholstery Forum with this pr...

Should be fun! Pinterest is where I go to get inspiration for interior designs. Search Custom Jeeps seats or Custom Jeep Interior

Keep us updated

@Matt Hamblin Also if they dont stock the size your looking for, Brytech in florida and a good selection of Amman threads as well.

Great advice @Mark M :thumbsup: @Cervantes Yeah, when you put it that way your totally right . I some times get overly cautious because some people try to hold me to exactly their interpretation of what is said or information I provided. Putting together something basic like described wouldn't be so...

@Mark M You did a fantastic job for you your first project. Your just going to keep getting better with every job you do! Thanks for sharing

Wow! I never would have guessed that! Thanks for the update

Oh boy... I think your in for a big project unfortunately. Those panels look like the material was vacuum formed to take the shape. Some of it you will be able to wrap with vinyl no problem but other parts you will probably need to add seams to get it fitting without wrinkles....

I have only purchased thread from them and its great thread. Don't know why Albrights thread is more expensive especially because its not near as good at the Amman serafil and serabond threads from relocate. I just wish they sold bigger spools. I haven't purchased any leather from them yet but I hav...

I would reach out to https://relicate.com/ with that picture. They have lots of distressed leather options and should be able to help you find what you are looking for.
