I have a Cousin who started Upholstering specifically as he and his Dad were building a Kit Car (Dutton Sierra I seem to think). Because they thought the prices they were being quoted and this was in the 70s - they decided to do it themselves.

From that point he went solo and did Classic Cars including at least one Volvo of the Saint type from Sweden. He then worked for local shopfitters for years and years and freelanced and has recovered my Suite twice. He was slow but probably had loads of work on but does a really good job.

The VW should be no problem ! PM me and I can give you his Name / Address / maybe Phone. I will look to see if he is on Facebook but I doubt it ! You can always mention me and Mel but the price might go up lol
