Whilst at the All Holden Day at Clarendon last August this guy Elias had a display of very good quality upholstered products. We went to Sydney a month ago on a parts hunt for the Malachite van, and phoned to see if he was about or away on holidays, as he wasn't we asked could he do slate black door trims, for us. He said he had some ready to go on the card, so we went around, and watched as he did them. No mucking about and waiting for ages like the Melbourne mob, he just did them in about 3/4 hour. He also said he could do hood linings, and cover a console for us, but would we mind collecting them in the morning as it was 4pm. He is just around the corner from my brother so that was fine. We are going to take back our seats to him, and have them covered as well, in a couple of weeks, and I just wanted to give him a massive plug on the forum because it seems to be quite difficult to get HZ trims with the chrome insert done correctly. He is nice and easy to deal with and gets the job done, I think it was $400 with Exchange Metal tops-$420 without metal tops. I just handed over the money grateful that he did this so quickly. The hood lining was also a great job, and was $200 for it and the console. He has chamois, tan, buckskin, slate, and all the different fabrics eg. sandpaper, and the herringbone etc. all in rolls.
I hope this helps fellow restorers. Cheers J
