In the trimshop this week.

Post by mid england retrims »

Hi , ive been watching and reading the threads on here and i thought it might be of interest if i post pictures of the current retrims and completed retrims that are happening in my trimshop. This thread is not intended to canvas for work , but to allow people to see how materials have progressed and what materials are available. The majority of my work is vw t5 vw t4s with a smattering of custom , classic cars and other campers aswell as quite a few major conversion companies. But patterns and styles can be incorporated into vw t3/25 vehicles.
I will also post on here what stock vinyls and carpets we have available if people would like to trim their own vehicles.
Please feel free to post and tell me your thoughts on this thread , also , moderators, if this is cheeky then please let me know. I have a similar thread on the vwt4/5 fourn which in the last four years has had in excess of 169000 views with alot of searches of the forum through google and new members.
Thank you for taking the time to read.

I will be trimming the inside of my van soon, starting with a completely empty van. Will you be posting pictures of work in progress or stages of trim?

I will obviously keep you in mind when purchasing trim/cloth etc!

Long term plans are to completely trim out the whole van,
although I am not sure how far we are going with this. (Wife induced project).
Definitely roof lining, door cards and inner panels, carpeting etc.

So it will indeed be nice to see some ideas of what can be done to spruce up the old girl (not the wife).

Maybe one day I might get it finished

Looks like you do a great job. I like the black chequered seats; I have to say though the last ones - purple/pink ones, are erm... interesting! :shock:
