After some OG beetle headliner; Ideally 1 X 2 meters.
But whatever, it is an odd request I know, but if someone has something lying around I'll put it to good use.
60's is ideal but earlier is fine. Anything you want to get rid of let me know.



Thanks Lufters

Can you be more specific on what you want?
Do you want the striped early 60's type, the one year only 59 type, the felt/cloth pre 59 type, or the perforated later type?

I thought If I was too specific people would tell me I was dreaming..

As long as it looks worn, I'm not looking to re-do anything to make it look new, quite the opposite really. I'm looking to re-cover my rear parcel tray to match my headliner in my car interms of colour/age - matching patina if you will

Best case senario a complete match to my 65 beetle:



If closer/better images are need let me know

The pic is crap, cannot make out what it is. A description would be better

3 mm marine ply maybe?

looks like 4mm in the pic

3mm should get you out of trouble.

So what headliner is it?? If it's a '65 shouldn't it have had the perferated one? If so has it been changed with the early striped one??

My headliner is totally OG, its a late 64 - early 65.

This is the stuff:





What I'm trying to say is as long as it looks like its always been there regardless of its type (early 60's type, the one year only 59 type, the felt/cloth pre 59 type, or the perforated later) I'm happy with whatever anyone can provide.

Redoing a parcel tray in OG headliner is uncharted waters - I don't want to pay big bucks and I want the patina (stains, tears etc, etc) you get from OG material.
Put simply I want maximum effect with minimal (if at all) price, ya dig?

Thanks for the tips all the same

Gotcha

Hey mate, just checked the wrecks... Got a textured vynil (don't know if it's original)



Otherwise only got perforated one reall ratty and two reasonable....

All yours if you want but you may wanna see if something closer to your head liner pops up? It's up to you

Brad from Bus'n'bug should be able to help you. Im sure he reefs out old liners on a regular basis

Ask Brad first, but if they have all gone in last Friday's bin run, I should be able to find something in the cave.....

Already asked Brad & Rick ages ago, before I posted.

Thanks Nug, you coming to the Jambo?
or is that a silly question?

might be on the cards but ill be flying if i do....

Just re-read this, thanks dude. Let us know how you go with cave of wonders.
As you can understand I want something as close to what I have as possible and am in no real rush >> 'planning' to have this done by DOV 2012

Still keen on Nug's stuff too. OG headliner is quite brittle so I'll be keeping my options open.


Thanks again guys appreciate it

One month on, anyone found matching headliner?

This is stuff:

You can have these pieces I have here Brett. Be just under a square metre.
